Quote from @Nikki Yankowski:

Thank you for sharing. I saw those two 4 plexes by Sparkman and 72 just list for the 400s. First time I've seen something like that on MLS.

Post note: I am hearing rumors about the the city of Huntsville passing a zoning law against SF purchases for investments. I haven't had time to follow up on this, but if you do please let me know!  

Zoning against SF for investment?  What are you talking about?

Quote from @Gorden Lopes:

I am just waiting on Southwest to fly in. One thing I hate about Huntsville is the lack of direct flights from major west coast cities or even from east coast cities like NY.


 +1000 to southwest flying in, please.  I'm tired of driving to Nashville/Bham.

The homestead exemption is quite large.  For rentals, you can expect that amount to at least double.

Did you tell the lender that you were occupying the property?  That rate seems low for the current investment loan market....

You'll get docked a little on the appraisal, but the sq ft is the main driver.

Can you share financial details or deal flow to give us actionable/practical information on the logistics of how you're making this work?

Doing pretty good, just investing in whatever looks decent enough.

Why can't the buyer use regular financing?

soapbox:  Probably should have researched this before the investment.

also somewhat soapbox: not a lot of money to be made in airbnb vs long term rentals in Huntsville, because the rental premium for the STR is not very large. Folks don't come to Huntsville on vacation, they come here for work.
