Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.3.

My favorite is mysmartmove.com5.

My favorite submarket of HSV is Decatur.

I haven't been able to choose a favorite in this space.

On another note, what's your one favorite non-AI tools these days too?

If you have performed rehab, my favorite programs offer both no seasoning and 90-day seasoning requirements to use the appraised value as the basis for your loan.

My favorite (and current go-to) program uses 80% of AirDNA figures for new STR properties without a rental history, but your current rents will provide a much more solid figure for underwriting. 

Of course, you would not have a remaining equity split to deal with, but the dollars per distribution/time to distribute concept is the same.BTW, in 16 years of setting up self-directed IRA plans, fractional distributions in-kind was my least favorite strategy. 

@Lien Vuong Quincy is my personal favorite due to asian food and community but as you mention slightly far from the city for STR but if I get a walking distance from the T, that would be doable. 

It’s my favorite landlord tool - bar none for how much it makes my life easier!
