@Kyle Cross, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think maybe what you're getting at is potentially pitching to your parents that you would like to take a shot at personally managing the units to gain experience and some form of compensation.

They have an internalized system where instantly a person has thousands of potential end buyers for a "lead" coast to coast.

I curate a list of properties priced under $800K with the potential to generate six-figure gross income and share it with my clients.

Birmingham’s market is diverse, with various areas offering different levels of potential and risk, so getting boots on the ground can be one of the best investments you make in terms of time and money.I’d be happy to connect and share more about what I’ve learned from my experience managing properties in this market. 

One of the turn key companies that I found through bigger pockets doesn't have properties available in the areas that this new company I working with could potentially set me up for.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

My team at Graystone Investment Group works with investors to handle the whole process—finding solid deals, managing rehabs, and long-term property management.I get why you're looking for options closer to home, and Florida has a lot of potential when you find the right markets.

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

I love it here because there are still positive cashflowing deals and lots of appreciation potential due to the strong job market, growing population, and major companies setting up shop here like Intel, Meta, Amazon, etc.

Hey @Ricky HernandezGreat question, and it’s awesome to see you thinking ahead about the potential for turning your new-build home into a rental.
