There are consequences for our government decisions and a lot of current policy and national sentiment continues to be inflationary (tighter immigration, high tariffs, wars, nationalism/isolationism, child tax credits, student loan forbearance, high government spending/deficits). 

Then if you include locations, yes go far away from popular sentiment.

@Bruno Ligutti I will echo the sentiments of those who posted before me.

Do you think this is a sentiment shared by all investors?

Hi @Jacob Emens - I agree with the sentiment shared by @John Barrett.One of the things I coach my house hacking clients on is to evaluate the property in two ways: (1) Do the numbers work while you are living there? 

I also, of course, agree with your sentiment on the tenant quality issue for C/D neighborhood classes.  

Getting permits can be a nightmare, and the sentiment in government seems to be leaning more and more towards anti-development.

Tread carefully, and I agree with the sentiment above, try a smaller project first.  

I'm mainly curious what the sentiment was when going through the tenanting process, what tenant pushback (if any) was like, and how it was received.

I too share your sentiment for appreciation which is the true long term wealth builder.
