After years of investing we settled on Alabama as the best spot for us to invest.

You are looking at about that much on P&I alone.

Hi Thomas, welcome to the Forums.Wishing you the very best!

Best of luck!

I'm looking to get into investing in the near future. 

Want to know the best way to have a win-win in private lending---> do not give someone a loan who does not deserve it.We buy defaulted debt and I cannot tell you how many deals we are seeing right now to people who have never flipped a property and the numbers from the outset never worked, it also does not go into people without experience, its people with experience but attempting to work out of state or in other markets. 

Eventually they will build out a system or understand the value of a good PM company and what to ask, look for and keep an eye on. 

You're local to me.There's a couple ways to go at this ;If you're looking to save some money you can have your plumber install sub-meters after the individual meters.

We're located in Bradenton, Fl, so this property is attractive for snowbirds looking to get away for the winter months but I'm trying to figure out how to fill it the rest of the year. 

That cycle of sourcing, assigning, and reinvesting has been a game changer for me too, and I completely agree—it’s the real estate cheat code most people overlook.Being able to create revenue while also creating opportunities for long-term wealth is the best part of this business, and it’s exactly how I plan to keep growing my portfolio.
