In a C class, high CF market, I'm looking for 1.1 to 1.3% rent to price ratio in my Midwest markets.

Hello,My name is Drew, I recently moved to the OKC area (from Tulsa originally), I've been seeing a lot of videos and getting into the wholesaling market, but nervous to pull the trigger and get under contract for the first time...

. - Again, when the charge is under the limit, good luck getting a breakdown of the costs or material receipts.3) PROOF via before & after pics/videos.- Even on major maintenance work, owners often have to beg for just pics to prove what was done.

I got my start in real estate investing doing BRRRRs in C & D neighborhoods.

Too many newbies focus on hype not facts:(New client that just bought 3 Class C-minus properties in Detroit. 

Property Condition & Amenities: it’s important to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood.”Key metrics for each Property Class:Class A Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 680+, no convictions/evictions in last 7 years.Tenant Default: 0-5% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class A rents are too high and won’t be approved.Vacancies: 5-10%, depending on market conditions.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Class B Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 620-680, some blemishes, no convictions/evictions in last 5 years.Tenant Default: 5-10% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Vacancies: 10-15%, depending on market conditions.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 1-3 years for positive cashflow, balanced amounts of relative rent & value appreciation.Section 8: Class B rents are usually too high for the Section 8 program.Class C Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 3 years.

Each of these markets has A/B/C pockets that perform very differently.
