It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

I started by looking over the numbers and used the Annual Rate of Return formula, along with the Cash-on-Cash formula that are mentioned in earlier chapters of the books.

That’s a great move—starting early with analyzing deals will put you in a strong position when you're ready to buy.Since you're open to other markets in the Southeast, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Chattanooga.

House hacking a 2-4 unit property with FHA (3.5% down) or Conventional (5% down) can be a smart way to start, while DSCR loans or partnerships can help if you need alternative financing.

House hacking and multi-family properties are great ways to start in real estate!

Recently bought a SFH (not in LLC) the price of rental insure has jumped significantly with State Farm, what are better options?

Any advice you would give to someone first starting out?

Then once you know how you will get the deals, that is where the fun starts..
