How does a neighborhood&#8217;s class affect property value?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things to consider when choosing a rental property&#8217;s location. <em>The Book on Rental Property Investing<\/em> by Brandon Turner claims that a neighborhood&#8217;s socioeconomic features, educational options, and accessibility are important features to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out where you should buy your first investment property, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neighborhood-classes\">Neighborhood Classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Turner argues that <strong>when deciding the best places to invest in real estate, it\u2019s important to consider neighborhood class.<\/strong> This is a rating based on the major socio-economic features of an area, along with the typical condition, age, and average prices of its properties. These factors deeply impact property values and attractiveness to desirable tenants. While there\u2019s no formal metric for neighborhood classing, landlords generally agree on an A, B, C, and D scale. Individual buildings receive a correlating letter value based on similar criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Higher-class neighborhoods (A and B) have higher employment rates, income rates, and property values, along with good infrastructure\u2014factors attractive to tenants. Both price and demand are typically higher for properties in these neighborhoods, lowering cash flow because you have to keep rents competitive. If buying properties in the center of these neighborhoods is too costly, or rent streams don\u2019t promise to eventually cover costs, consider buying properties in the area\u2019s periphery, where prices often decrease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachcarson.com\/where-to-buy-investment-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Many investors don\u2019t mind the lower cash flow<\/a> in these areas if it means a safer, quality investment in a neighborhood that has solid growth potential. For example, stable, higher-class neighborhoods often produce lower tenant turnover because your tenants are happier and feel more secure in their lodgings. This leads to shorter, less economically damaging vacancy periods for you, arguably making the reduction in cash flow worth it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turner notes that lower-class properties (C and D) can be easy to add value to through forced appreciation. However, if the area suffers from neglect, economic hardship, or crime, you may find it hard to find reliable and financially stable tenants\u2014many people aren\u2019t willing to accept these conditions for the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Financing Class C and D properties may require additional assurances for the lender. One of the most common is that you, the buyer, have <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.roofstock.com\/blog\/class-c-property\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more cash on hand to cover vacancy rates<\/a> (the percentage of any given year that a rental unit sits without a paying tenant). These vacancies tend to be longer in lower-class neighborhoods because properties often require more repairs before they can be successfully let, or, as Turner notes, the tenants don\u2019t stay long. Note that you may qualify for assistance from the federal government when buying in these areas. For example, in the US, the government provides a low-income housing tax credit, or LIHTC, to less affluent renters.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Market Classes<\/strong><br><br>In addition to lettered neighborhood classes, real estate markets are often <a href=\"https:\/\/katalystteam.com\/understanding-the-3-types-of-real-estate-markets-primary-secondary-and-tertiary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">subdivided into primary, secondary, and tertiary markets<\/a>:<br><br>Primary markets tend to be urban centers with high population density and productive industrial and commercial sectors.<br><br>Secondary markets often have slightly smaller populations and economies, but they retain some of the character of primary markets. This makes them enticing to people who want some of the big city feel but with lower prices and less bustle.<br><br>Tertiary markets have more dispersed populations and typically less commercial activity, but they make up for this with lower prices and a slower pace of everyday life.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-locational-draws\">Additional Locational Draws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from class, other locational features can appeal to would-be tenants, adding value to your investment. Strong educational options and nearby schools are key motivators for renting families, and most renters value good transportation and availability of common retailers. As a rule of thumb, <strong>Turner suggests you ask yourself if <\/strong><strong><em>you\u2019d<\/em><\/strong><strong> like living where your rental property is located. Chances are your would-be tenant would react similarly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: It\u2019s unlikely that your would-be tenant will find every last neighborhood feature they\u2019re looking for, such as great educational options and plentiful retailers, close to your property. Therefore, consider adding commonly sought-after luxuries to the unit itself. Research shows that potential renters are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysmartmove.com\/SmartMove\/blog\/what-tenants-look-for-rental-property.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">especially attracted to units that have washers and dryers<\/a>, and they\u2019re often willing to pay more in rent in exchange for the convenience and saving of not having to go to a laundromat. Experts suggest adding these items to your overall property if there isn\u2019t capacity within each unit itself.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where are the best places to invest in real estate?
