I don't know how severe the issues were that caused you to cancel 7 deals, but I can tell you that either your agent is absolutely blind or you are blowing small issues way out of proportion.You are not getting a new roof with a used house, just as much as you are not getting brand new breaks on a used car.

But I absolutely love the loan. 

Absolutely, thank you! 

First of all, there is absolutely no correlation between transacting with or even being a wholesaler and successfully completing a BRRRR, but that's besides the point I hope to get across. 

@Nina Penuela - I couldn't disagree more with the comment "Huntsville is a market to watch in 2024, offering solid opportunities for both investors".This market has been absolutely brutal in 2024 for investors.  

So absolutely viable if - like you mentioned you can get creative in terms of financing the deal.

Absolutely location is very important. 

Maintain the absolute highest standards of appearance, cleanliness and service and families will be beating your door down.  

Some people absolutely don't want others in their personal home, but if that's not an issue for you you could also consider renting out your primary as an MTR when you and your wife are traveling.

I say this let you know - while you absolutely can do it "on your own" these are just a few reasons ( mentioned above ) why folks hire managers - stress free!
