I think there are exceptions to ever rule, but I do not invest in D class towns. Tenants are harder on the properties and you have much higher vacancy and bad debt that should be included. If you level load it to another area, you might get a true CAP rate that is maybe 1% above better areas but is it worth the time and effort for an extra $1000 or $2000 a year.
I own and manage a property management company in CT and I will not manage in any D class areas - Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport
I'd be happy to have a conversation if interested. DM me.
