I definitely agree that rent by the room is awesome for increasing cash flow - again, it does come with it's headaches but with the higher risk comes higher reward (I've been doing it for almost 3 years now, it's really the only way to make the numbers work with little cash down on properties).From my personal experience, talking to others at meetups, and reading this post, I think there's definitely demand for specialized rent by the room property management.

I'm happy to share any local expertise about investing in the area and get you connected with good folks here.ChrisThank you Chris, definitely will connect.

I like the West Mobile area, its class A area, you can definitely find deals there, 3 bedroom with 2 bathroom for around 220k or so, you may have to wait a couple of years for positive cash flow but properties there increasing in values better than others.
