Hi Zane,I live and invest in Alabama, but the answer to your question depends on your strategy:Are you looking for turnkey or distressed / rehab properties, do you plan to self-manage or use a property manager, what class neighborhood, are you buying cash or how much will you put down, are you willing to look at cities just outside of Huntsville? 

Remodeling and repairing during the night and hunting for deals while I was in class.

@Gabriel Miritello for vacancy, it really should be called Vacancy + Tenant Nonperformance.Will depend on the property Class.Class A you can usually get away with 5% vacancy, as nonperformance is basically zero.Class B we recommend using 10%Class C we recommend using 20%Class D we try to stay away from

. - The 3rd lender, on the right, with the best rate, requires that one borrower/sponsor be experienced in the asset class, and that they personally live local to the property. - 1 regional lender (Pima + 1 other county), 1 state-wide lender (AZ), and 1 national lender, not in that order, is represented here. 

Simultaneously, I have sat in Ron's gotcha class.

MY QUESTION...What have you found to be the best Course or Class to start learning (specifically) how to Flip Houses?

@Joe K.I do not know the details of your specific situation (amounts owed, class of property, etc.), but, in my experience, it is a waste of time.

Next time you go to school, make sure you tell your HS teacher or college professor that you can learn everything they can teach you from a book and that what they're teaching is not worth the price of the class.

Nothing I've read in the state Landlord-Tenant Law says anything about it as a protected class, and I know the governor recently (2023) signed into law allowing landlords to not accept it. 

Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
