Great points, ZharaBirmingham has relatively steady and diverse rental demand, and I’ve seen many investors I work with have success with C/B class buy-and-holds.Location is key—areas near UAB, major employers, and popular suburbs tend to have the strongest rental demand, while C/D class markets offer solid affordable housing and Section 8 opportunities.

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

@Jordan Miller most Class A & B rental properties bought since 2021 really don't cashflow from day one.Class B will take 1-3 years to start showing cashflow.Class A, 3-5 years.Current investors keep making the mistake of looking back at deals from 5-10 years ago when prices & interest rates were both a lot lower, but NOT rental rates.

I'm thinking long term rentals will be a good retirement plan.

.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

I’m diving into real estate investing with a focus on rental properties, and I’m looking to connect with like-minded investors, lenders, and partners.A little about me:•I’m currently working on securing my first rental property and seeking a strategic partnership with an investor willing to fund the deal while I handle the operations.

From the time I started the initial consultation, Tommy was very helpful to provide all the information I needed to have before making my decision to go forward with the rental property.

I'd be happy to make connections over similar goals, and to learn about tax info for DC, great spots to buy, and trends for rentals.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.

We’re debating whether we should sell our rental property to pay off all our debts.
