And, even then, hitting your rate target would still be extremely challenging unless you were paying points up front, in which case it would probably make more sense to just try to put in a bigger down payment (or pay down the balance if refi) instead and get better terms naturally offered at the lower LTV.

In Montgomery, we can still hit the 1% rule on rent rate, and Alabama is very landlord friendly.  

Hitting these targets could be the key to unlocking lasting investment returns.Before diving in, developers need to complete pre-submittal steps, including issuing a "Notice of Intent."

Seeing a lot of new construction rental buildings hitting the market in Bronzeville and the west side, seems to be CMU brick around the sides. 

Upgrading HVAC costs about $10k with electrical upgrades.

Seems like everyone wants to wholesale here - The competition is really high - I dont really wholesale unless it makes sense for everyone but my advice would be to try and hit the lists that arent already super flooded ( pre foreclosure, vacant, etc.) 

Additionally, you can still find properties for 120-180k that will positive cash flow and hit the 1% rule.

We did hit $70k in year's past, just had a down year due to a crappy cleaner earlier in the year.  

Just when I cleared around $100K in assignments in about 7 months, I was hit by a drunk driver head on and became a left-knee amputee.
