Thanks for the reply @Joseph Schweizer. Hearing that everything is going as expected regarding those topics is enough for me. 

@Account Closed I look forward to it as well!

@Joseph Schweizer

You took a huge first step and that's awesome! Congrats. It's been a while now so I hope things are still going well for you, maybe you can give us an overall update now (or I can DM you if you prefer!). I have the initial call scheduled for this coming Friday with RTR, hoping for a similar success as you.

Best of luck in your REI journey!

@Alex Sabio Oh will do! Thanks.

@Whitney Hutten Oh for sure. Yeah I started planning a couple months ago, made an excel sheet of 12 potential locations until finally zooming in on Northern Alabama. Now I'm in listing email lists in both Huntsville and Birmingham. Awesome, thanks!

@Todd Rasmussen

Sounds like a plan. Who knows when that'll be though!

@Todd Rasmussen

Haha. I suspect you already know the answer!
That's good to hear!

Thanks @Account Closed

Witchcraft!... It's awesome how on point you @Jason Carter were to what I've been thinking and planning myself... down to the real estate agent and price range. 

I definitely intend to house hack with an FHA loan in the future when I have landed on a more permanent location here in California!

I also intend to fly over to Alabama once everything settles a bit, in fact, I wasn't planning on starting a discussion until it got closer to that but then I realized, what the heck, why not. 

About Huntsville, I completely agree! Being a techie in the aerospace industry myself is definitely pushing me even more in that direction! 

Yeah, BRRRR is further down the horizon for me for sure.

Thanks for chiming in. Great stuff!

@Ankit Garg Although eventually I would like to BRRRR, this first time around I'm focusing on buy and hold!

@Joseph Crunkilton Thanks for the rec!

@Kam Olsen Yeah I agree, the appreciation will probably be low to non-existent even, especially when compared to California. However, right now I'm leaning much more towards cash flow. Even more towards red states due to all the threads regarding tenant laws nowadays!!

Thank you all for your inputs.

@Ali Boone

Ah that's awesome! I actually ended up in the aerospace industry. Thanks for the welocome!

Hi @Lindsay Davis

You know I haven't really looked into any turnkey provider but I could and probably should. Just to expand my options. Luckily an old college classmate also invests in Huntsville and recommended me some people already and so far so good.

@Lane Kawaoka

Some encouraging words from a fellow engineer! I appreciate that. Yeah there's no doubt in my mind... I'll be doing the OOS SFH thing for a while.

Thanks, will do!
