I’m looking for some insight and guidance.I’ve been studying real estate more recently, watching videos on hard money lending, seller financing, ROI, cash-on-cash returns, and how to properly run the numbers (still working on mastering that).

In my market class c- areas have appreciation that exceeds most markets class A areas.  

When my clients are looking to wholesale and are struggling to find end buyers (Party C), I always tell them that their best resources will be Facebook Groups(which you mentioned), LinkedIn, and local REIAs.The key is to build and maintain long-lasting relationships with both avid rehabbers and renters, as they are both viable end buyers.

Hi all,I am new to the real estate investing game and have recently begun learning as much as I can through reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching YouTube videos.

Otherwise, only if you can prove tenant caused the damages.2) Tenant ClassClass A & most Class B tenants will honor lease to protect their credit.Class C & D tenants - will break a lease whenever:(3) Owner IntentionsSri already covered4) TimingWe don't allow M2M during Nov-Feb, worst time to find new tenants.

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.

You can buy good duplex deals for $150k in B/C locations.

Many investors have transistioned to Class B & C rentals - only to regret it once they experienced dealing with the corresponding lower Class of tenants.

Do you have any advice you can share whether that is books, website/videos?
