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.

What is vastly different between US and other developed country area) the tendency of suing between people or enterprise, this create almost every industry has noticeable legal fee/lawyer fee when they conducted a business and punish the consumer at the end.b) the power of private enterprise to create regulation and influencing goverment decision which at the end creates oligopoly structures which dominate how the government react to particular industry (well you can say lobbyst).c) the dependencies to technology (without good understanding of its technology)d) the overcomplicated tax and building code , which at the end creates more profit to big corporation only.These are the fair point in my own thinking why commision is high , especially #2, it's just the "realtor cartel" push that agenda to public and gov ; and since gov is part of private enterprise too, they just accept it LOLAmerica is one big giant corporation executed by Exxon,Apple,Microsoft, Blackrock, Blackstone, Shell , Lockheed and AIG whole industrial powerhouse LOL :-) what you see in TV if they seems fighting is just a drama lol
