., must share certain attributes (bedrooms, bathroom, etc.).T3: Compare property typeI came to the result of above 200k and am looking for advice/comments from experienced investors on my decision.

I’ve heard from countless people over the years who made their construction financing decisions strictly based on the term sheet terms and have had miserable experiences.

I have definitely noticed that if I'm with a male partner, it happens that the person we are speaking to will direct his attention to the male even when I am the decision maker. 

Secondarily, if we can have a year wherein we can significantly decrease our tax liability thought REI, we would use that year to convert some of our tax deferred investments (403b, 457b) to in-plan Roth conversions and pay the taxes on those conversions - hoping that makes sense.We are open to STR, MTR, LTR - we just want to make a wise decision that lowers our tax liability.

I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.
