Hi BP Community,

I've been quietly reading all the wonderful posts and information you are all sharing with the community and have learned a tremendous amount. With all the info, I am finally setting myself up to purchase my first property. My strategy is to acquire SFRs in the the Mid-west and other markets that bring a good cash flow and possible appreciation over time, and grow my portfolio from there. I'd like to stick with B neighborhoods (maybe C+) to mitigate the vacancy issue that many C/D neighborhoods bring.

I am entertaining a purchase in the Linden Heights neighborhood of Dayton, OH (SE part of the city). Can anyone tell me how would you classify this neighborhood? 

Also, if anyone can give me info of other B neighborhoods in Indy, Columbus, BHAM or other, similar markets, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a million in advance for any advice!
