USB/USB-C outlets — great idea.Tenants absolutely notice these, especially near the bed and kitchen.

Now we're seeing investors pouring money into buying Class C rentals - but, many are getting burned.In our experience & opinion, the main determinant of property Class is not location or even property condition, those are #2 and #3.

I’m staying active but stricter: tighten the buy box to durable B/C neighborhoods, underwrite to in-place income first, and only chase value I can control like better management, lease-ups, and light turns.

They'll be Class D properties dressed up to look Class C or B.

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.

If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class C or D property - disaster!

However owning rentals in a C Corp or S Corp. is generally not the best for tax considerations. 

Even though everything’s new and should be low-maintenance for a while, someone will eventually clog a drain, break something, or have an A/C issue.
