Distinguishing between A-Class, B-Class, C-Class properties?

Corazon B.
Posted

Are you able to tell which ones are the A class, B class, and C class properties based on how much it is being sold for and what types of public schools are available in the area? What are other ways are you guys able to distinguish between the properties? How are you able to tell what is the average salary of the people who are living in a neighborhood?

Hey Corazon, 

This is a great topic. Its important to know that the property can be A, B, C or D and so can the location. So lets break it down

Properties

A - Usually brand new or completely remodeled. 

B- I usually think of these houses as older but well taken care of. They might be slightly out of date but no major issues.

C- Usually we're talking about old houses, maybe 20+ years old and they look it. These are the affordable rentals 

D- In my opinion, D houses require rehab just to be livable. If people are living there usually they are on hard times. 

As far as the neighborhoods and areas, yes the schools have a lot to do with that,

A - gated community or a high end downtown area 

B - your standard neighborhood with a park. Nothing special but its nice

C - Older neighborhood, some of the houses are run down, some are well-kept

D - Commonly referred to as a war zone

I like to find C properties in B neighborhoods and fix them up a little. Good luck :)
