How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I'm in the process of vetting some seller financed deals for my solo401k portfolio.

Granted there is a cost in hiring an agent, Having someone analyze each deal with localized knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

It isn't that big of a deal.

A lot more important compared to newer construction homes where you don't have to deal with certain things when it comes to either of those.Many other nuances but those are just a few that come to mind.

Huntsville is growing, and families are always going to prioritize good schools.

There just aren't as many deals as there used to be it seems. 

My head is spinning, but I guess I'm just an old school, old fart! 

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

Lots of leg work, calls and emails, but if you can find a few deals that could get you started with enough capital to get into your first deal on your own.
