The thing that you have to remember is that the path of progress and a neighborhood "turning over" moves at a glacial pace.

.: @Chris Core - you will not find cash flow in Huntsville right now unless you want a C/D neighborhood property (not all of those work right now either) or you want to put over 30% percent down on a purchase to "force" cash flow. 

If you’re open to looking across the state—from Jacksonville to Sarasota—you can definitely find some solid deals, but you’ve got to be strategic and focus on markets that fit your goals.

So when you build your pocket neighborhood, which is an interesting concept, what's to stop an undesirable person from moving in.

Sometimes you have to get in where you fit in.

@Hunter DuplantisFind out what median income is in your area/neighborhood, and don't expect to charge more than1/3 their income.

All of the people I know who invest remotely and are successful fit into one of these 2 categories: 1.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Focus on networking with local investors, learning market trends in your new area, and deciding on a strategy that fits your goals.Good luck!

Which neighborhood or zip code to look at or avoid?
