I think i've 2 more properties since we spoke.

I think it's the best market in the whole country in my opinion.

I think that’s a good idea, and it offers a soft launch to my real estate journey, like you said.

I was thinking if I can do creative finance with seller finance deals this may be a way to help me get where I want to be.

As for Cash flow, I think it depends on the deal structure as you mentioned, but also strategy/approach (cash flow vs building asset, holding long term).

@Lillian Pintaro,Birmingham’s a lucrative market—it’s been my stomping ground for nearly 20 years, and you can find some excellent deals if you know what you’re after and dive deep by zip code, neighborhood, and city block.For what it’s worth, we manage 2,000+ units (many for out-of-state investors) mostly in the north and west part of town—so think suburbs outside the city limits like Graysville (35073), Adamsville (35005), Mount Olive (35117), Center Point (35215), and the like.Since you’re also open to the surrounding areas, places like Odenville (to the east) and Tuscaloosa (to the southwest) could be worth checking out.

I can think of some obvious cities where chip manufacturing plants are being constructed that will benefit from AI.Looking for a discussion on what cites or MSAs will benefit the most from the AI revolution and why?

I'd say visitors do usually use more power than you'd think but that does seem somewhat high.

I think this will even out your space in the house.

You're going to have to scrap like crazy to break even - think rent by the room, short term, mid term strategies that require more work.
