Huntsville, in particular, has strong job growth, steady appreciation, and a high demand for quality rental homes.

If you think you can find a higher quality tenant, then that is a different conversation entirely. 

I decided to take a lower CoCr for stable, high quality tenants and have zero regrets.

Lots of investment in the region as well so hopefully quality job growth will continue.

@Isaac Terry Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

the company I went with was 12k and performed high quality work.

Try to screen for a higher quality tenant next time.

I would have internet and a streaming service -I like FUBO because they have everything else but a focus on sports, which can be hard to find on some of the other streming services...They should have their own accounts if they want to watch their favorite series or whatever...

The profit was used to buy a higher quality SFH in the same area.

Historically, full service management on the coast has been costly but in recent months management rates have come down and quality has improved.
