Hey David, welcome to the group! It's awesome that you're leaping into real estate investing after all the knowledge you've gained from Rich Dad and Bigger Pockets. Sounds like you're off to a great start with Huntsville and Augusta in mind—both are growing markets with solid potential. Having friends in each area is a huge plus for building your team.

If you’re open to exploring additional options, Oklahoma is another great place to consider for investment. It’s renter-friendly, with solid deals that can provide strong cash flow. It’s a market that often flies under the radar but offers great potential for long-distance investing.

That's awesome you're diving into the Section 8 BRRRR journey! Birmingham and Montgomery have some solid opportunities, especially in that price range. As you already know, anything under $65k will likely require a heavier lift in terms of repairs, but that's where you can create the most value. For the SFH in the 2-4 bedroom range, focus on areas with stable demand for rentals—both cities have neighborhoods where Section 8 housing can do well!

Also, just a thought, if you're ever considering expanding your search, Oklahoma is another great market for Section 8 rentals that can cash flow well. It's worth taking a look at if you're seeking higher returns without needing as much work on the back end. It’s not too far from Alabama, and the state has a solid Section 8 infrastructure in place for both single-family homes and duplexes!

Best of luck with your journey, and don’t hesitate to ask more questions if you need advice along the way!

Ben! It’s awesome that you’re looking to put your savings to work in rental properties instead of letting high home prices hold you back. Tulsa and OKC are both solid markets with strong rental demand, relatively low entry costs, and good cash flow potential. But really, any market can work if you have the right strategy and numbers in place.

If you have any questions about OKC or Tulsa, I’d be happy to connect and share insights on the market! Looking forward to seeing where your investing journey takes you!

Finding the right balance between appreciation and cash flow is key, especially when your goal is to scale efficiently. Appreciation-focused investments can definitely help you grow your portfolio faster through equity gains, but they also come with higher market risks and usually require a strong exit strategy. On the other hand, cash flow investments provide stability and passive income but can take longer to build substantial capital.

Since you're open to out-of-state investing, I’d recommend looking into Tulsa and OKC. Both markets offer a great mix of appreciation and cash flow, making them starter-friendly. These markets are seeing strong population and job growth, which helps with both property value appreciation and rental demand.

I’m a real estate agent who specializes in investment properties here in Oklahoma, so if you ever want to dive deeper into these markets or have any questions, I’d be happy to help!

Lawton is a good area to invest in, especially if you're targeting affordable housing. Oklahoma as a whole has strong rental demand in many markets, just need to be mindful of the price-to-rent balance, as you mentioned. I’d be happy to talk more about the Lawton market and share any insights that might help with your decision!

OKC and Tulsa are two of the best markets for real estate investors looking to maximize their buying power and generate strong returns. With $200K-$250K, you can secure high-quality rental properties in both cities while benefiting from steady appreciation, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.

Oklahoma City has a rapidly growing economy, with major industries like aerospace, energy, healthcare, and tech fueling job growth. The population continues to rise, increasing the demand for housing. Home prices in OKC remain affordable compared to national averages, allowing investors to acquire properties with strong cash flow potential. The city also has multiple high-growth areas where property values are steadily rising, making it a great option for both long-term holds and value-add investments.

Tulsa offers similar affordability with a strong rental market and steady property appreciation. The city's economy is supported by manufacturing, finance, and a growing tech sector, attracting a steady stream of renters. Tulsa’s cost of living is lower than the national average, which keeps housing demand high, especially in desirable neighborhoods near downtown, the Pearl District, and Midtown. Investors can find single-family rentals and small multifamily properties that generate consistent rental income while maintaining solid equity growth.

With $200K-$250K, investors can secure multiple rental properties or a high-quality single-family home in either market, providing strong cash flow and long-term appreciation.
