@Thomas Farrell The BRRRR strategy can be effective with $400K in capital, especially in a market like Augusta, GA, offering affordability and rental demand.

@David LewisRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

There's a lot more competition than previous years, and prices are high.

The two are almost entirely different markets in terms of price points, returns, tenant quality, and overall investing strategy.
