I'm looking to connect with Huntsville locals who can assist or point me in the right direction. go to the local FB groups I bet there everywhere 

DM us if you'd like some 1-on-1 assistance.

If you do not have experience with this, I would highly recommend getting advice/assistance from someone that you trust in the business.   

Our mortgage was significantly higher than our flood insurance, and I don't know if we qualify to try to apply for FEMA or if there is other assistance, and if so, if we would apply as a business (we file it on our personal taxes as rental income).

Are there better returns to be had renting to EDEN housing assistance renters, or should I stick to cash-paying tenants?

In addition to my full-time role as an engineering manager, I’m building my real estate business as a side hustle with plans to grow it further.My current focus is on assisting first-time homebuyers and investors, but I’m always eager to explore new strategies and opportunities.

A few updates that didn't fit into the above post:The attorney who handled our closing offered to assist the sellers pro-bono in an effort to recover some of the equity.

Reach out to us here if you need more assistance!

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
