@Cosmo DePinto,I’ve seen investors do great in Huntsville—let me share a few detailsIn short, yes—it’s arguably one of the strongest markets in Alabama for a balance between cash flow and appreciation.

The balanced owed on the property is about 97K. 

Kinda like life.

Its a lot of money to put into someone who's new to their life or the industry.

My motivation is to increase my financial literacy and diversify into real estate.I have rented all my life and seek to become a homeowner/ investor to help my family and make their lives easier.

I would generally say no if you don't have a property unless you're looking for peace of mind knowing that you've set your financial life properly. 

Mechanicals, roofs etc. can be towards the end of their useful life and pass inspection but then the cap ex can't be absorbed in many of these C/D neighborhoods.

If you have a residential FHA loan, you may trigger a due-on-sale clause unless you have lived there for a year or have had a life changing event.

The 80/20 rule applies to most things in life but in Portland real estate it’s more like the 90/10 rule...10% of the agents do 90% of the work.

Okay pal, go with them I am sure it will work out the same (sarcasm) (hangs up phone).Like anything in life, you get what you pay for.
