@Tim Bender  Are you only pursuing deed's after tax sales where there is a redemption period in play? 

So Monday morning I get the script I made together and I just go for it and ill admit cold calls are scary but never something I've been afraid of so after about 4 calls I get a guy who is interested in what I have to say and remember this is day two but I am able to get myself through the conversation ask him enough questions to have an idea of what he would be looking for and he was like all right. text me your name and number and let me know when you have some thing.

Huntsville AL definitely is an appreciation play right now;  there is no significant cash flow unless you put well over 20% down, go to C/D neighborhoods, do multifamily/house hack, or find a unicorn of an off-market deal.  

However, in today's world, there's many ways to make a million in 24 months, and unless you come across a unicorn of a flip or you already have millions to play with, it won't come from RE.It depends on what you're going for.

However, he starts to talk about how you may sometimes overpay for a property because you are not necessarily worried about what the property is worth today but about the “long-term play.”

I do wonder though how things would play out if large sums were involved.

All of that takes either time, cash, or both, and none of it is a pleasant experience for you or the tenant.During that time, would you have enough cash in your reserves to cover the mortgage for 3-6 months while the eviction process is playing out?  

I'm particularly passionate about building custom homes and using  the BRRRR method.Outside of real estate, I enjoy ATV riding, playing soccer and basketball and also traveling the world and connecting with new people.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Akron is not an appreciation play.

@Aaron Davis My personal experience is that non section 8 tenants don't play well with section 8 tenants.Frank
