I am not preticuarly brand new to real estate as I've done 1 house flip before and 1 brrrr here locally to me.To begin, I’m aiming to tackle two single-family BRRRR projects in the Jackson County, MO area.

Any recommendations for starting strong would be appreciated. 

You still need some money to cover part of the rehab until you get your first draw, and if you're a brand new investor you might not qualify for 100% LTC on your first deal, but if you can partner with someone with experience on their track record or can prove significant past contractor experience then we might go that high on your first deal. 

It might be wise to remove the listing, and relist as a brand new place now that you have a solid cleaner.Some of the comments show that the paint has issues etc.

Nashville is a fantastic market with strong rental demand and long-term growth potential.

Whether you’re targeting strong cash flow or long-term appreciation, understanding the dynamics of each neighborhood is key.

However, you must have reasonable limits and hold to them.I give a great example in my book where a tenant abandoned a 2,000-square-foot home full of nice furniture, expensive jewelry, a brand-new $2,000 rifle still in the box, etc.

In my view, this trend is likely to persist and could be a strong demographic tailwind for a long-term investor like yourself.Specifically, Athens, AL—a city about 30 miles west of downtown Huntsville—was the #1 fastest-growing city in the state in 2023, so there’s a lot of growth, development, and opportunity in and around Huntsville proper.If you have the time, do some driving around.

Over the next 5–10 years, I plan to scale to a portfolio of rental properties and eventually diversify into syndications.I’m particularly interested in the Lynchburg, VA market and other areas with strong rental demand.What I Bring to the Table:I’ve been saving aggressively, and I’m exploring physician loans to help get started with minimal upfront costs.I’ve done a lot of reading (shoutout to BiggerPockets books!)

It’s a 3 bedroom home, brand new build and just shy of 1500 sq ft.
