Cleveland and Akron have some good opportunities. 

We have such a unique opportunity here.

You have an exciting opportunity at your fingertips, some cash purchases could make sense in higher appreciation markets if you were looking for other options or to diversify.

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.

Looking forward to great discussions and opportunities to collaborate!

I believe this law presents a great opportunity—not only as a sustainable business model but also as a way to help people in need.However, I have no experience in real estate or foreclosure auctions.

On that renovation, focus on value add opportunities to force equity or cash flow. 

Every investor has a different approach, but I personally buy my rentals the same way I buy my flips..at a deep discount using hard/private money, then refinance with a rate-and-term loan to secure a lowest interest rate.Ultimately, it comes down to your goals, risk tolerance, and ability to find value-add opportunities.

With one long-term rental and a full time job, advance tax planning opportunities are going to be limited.

We are looking for our next STR opportunity and interested in a beach property that we can use from time to time.
