Quote from @Benjamin Sanders: Hi all,My wife and I made a last-minute offer on a rental property in New Albany that is in a flood plain.

In addtion to the typical 'SOLD' Comps, I also always run Comps on what is currently offered for sale.

An example is on one permit I had plans for electrical, plans for gas, plans for AC condenser.

I'd be happy to talk w/you on the phone and maybe meet some time for coffee. 

OKC and Birmingham markets both offer some great opportunities and good entry prices for new investors.

It's creating new ways to unlock property potential and offers a pathway to profitable investments if you're targeting the right neighborhoods.Here’s the deal: SB-9 allows to split a single-family lot into two parcels and build up to four units.

Also, any advice on managing budgets for PPC in the real estate sector would be really helpful.Thanks in advance for any insights. 

Hey Llamier, congrats on taking the leap!

So if you are in a 30% combined tax bracket you get an additional $3K due to write offs.If it is a rental, you can write off the business expenses and the depreciation on the non land valuation.
