Hey Lillian! Great question. I've found that the best areas for the investors I have worked with on BRRRR properties are areas like Center Point, Fultondale, Gardendale, and Pinson areas.

These areas are solid and aren't in warzones like Fairfield or Tarrant but will also produce you cash flow and equity unlike cities like Hoover or Vestavia.

Hey Shaylynn! Those are great markets that you listed! Have you looked into Dallas-Fort Worth, TX or Birmingham, AL? Both are phenomenal markets in their own right.

Dallas-Fort Worth has become one of the largest MSA's in the country and it is continuing to grow, as a result of the continued demand values will increase. Along with value appreciation, DFW will offer assets that cash flow and rent will also appreciate over time. Really a market you get best of both worlds between rent/value appreciation and cash flow.

Birmingham, AL on the other hand is a market that produces great cash flow. Alabama has extremely low property taxes, allowing you to keep your operating expenses low and rents are continuing to increase.

I'd love to connect if you'd like to know more on these markets!

Quote from @Ken Almira:

@Justice Bowers

Yeah, after a recent conversation, I’m starting to think that simply saving a lot more money might be the best answer to my problem. While creative financing options are interesting, having more cash on hand seems like it would put me in a much stronger position and open up better opportunities.

That said, I’m still curious—at what point do you think someone is truly ‘ready’ to start investing in real estate? Is there a certain amount of savings or financial cushion that experienced investors recommend before jumping in?


 I think you're spot on. I'd say the ideal amount saved would depend mostly on what markets you're looking to invest in. If you're looking to invest in a top MSA like a Chicago, LA, or New York than your capital needed will most likely be significantly more than if you're looking to invest in secondary or tertiary markets.

Post: What deal metrics are most important to you?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Real Estate Advisor for a company that provides turn-key investment properties for investors who want to own assets but prefer to avoid the day-to-day management. I also actively invest in real estate myself, and I talk with investors regularly about how they evaluate deals.

Out of curiosity, what key metrics do you use to decide whether a deal is worth pursuing? Do you prioritize cash-on-cash return, equity buildup, cap rate, monthly cash flow, or something else entirely? 

I'd love to hear what makes or breaks a deal for you!

Hey Ken! The only way I see a low or no-money-down scenario being viable is if you have a lender willing to lend based on the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, and if you can find a deal where your total costs are low enough to keep the LTV within the lender's limits.

So, while it’s possible, it’s tough to find deals that fit these strict criteria. That said, there are other creative financing options that might allow you to put down little or no money—like seller financing, lease options, or even partnering with someone who brings the capital. These options often come with their own set of challenges, but they’re worth exploring if you’re willing to get a bit creative.

In short, it’s not easy, but with the right strategy and persistence, it’s doable!
