State Farm recently announced they would cancel 70,000 policies because of these challenges. 

Challenges?

Huntsville is a challenging market given the price points but I've had clients find good success in the suburbs. 

What worked well, and what challenges did you face?

Challenges?

@Pratik as @Neil Narayan mentioned, cash flow is very challenging due to the property values, property taxes, and soft rental market.

Whether you're looking for short-term rentals, long-term rentals, or fix-and-flips, Florida has something to offer.Favorable Tax Environment: Florida boasts no state income tax, making it an attractive option for investors looking to maximize their returns.Year-Round Appeal: Unlike seasonal markets, Florida offers consistent rental demand year-round.

However I did note that houses are mostly really old, e.g. 100 years or older... any idea if this poses challenges in things like lead paint presence, outdated wiring, rusty plumbing, etc., or have many of the homes already been updated?   

I’d love to hear how it’s worked for you and what challenges you’ve faced.

Successful BRRRRs are challenging enough to do local to you.
