What's the best strategy in the Jackson, MS, market?

[Elijah Friedeman]

I am new to REI, and I'm trying to figure out my first SFH deal. I'm from Jackson, MS, so I've been looking in the area. But I'm having trouble finding attractive deals. I've found one potential C- SFH off market, but I'm still evaluating it.

At one point, Jackson was a major destination for out-of-state investors, but that surge seems to have absorbed a lot of the good SFH opportunities.

Any suggestions for the best way to approach the current market? Should I wait it out until the market is more attractive? Or is it better to start with even a mediocre deal?
