The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

@Kevin D.

Well, if you buy & renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what Tenant Class will actually rent it?

They also served him the papers in March- B sold the property to C (an LLC) on July 1, via a special deed- Late July, C sold to D (the wholesaler) who sold it to me - likely on the same day- September of 2024, the court decided in favor of Estate, B never replied.

Someone who has their wife living with them would be hard pressed to convince her to live in a C or D location. 

Among the C and D class properties, any cash flow you make will likely go away once the tenant moves out because of how badly they might damage the property.My advice would be that Toledo is lightyears better than Detroit in terms of the people (tenants, contractors, property managers, city officials, etc.), and even within the two cities, please seek the better neighborhoods so your property doesn't end up trashedWhat you have said about "scammy" contractors and property managers is true but I am sure you will find this in every major city not only in the USA but in the world. 

Homes will have even more deferred maintenance and tenants will be even harder on them.Class D pretty much requires an OWNER to be on location and at the property 3-4 times/week.
