It’s common to hit some hurdles with traditional lenders, especially when LTV requirements are strict or when cash flow doesn’t align with standard underwriting practices.If you're looking to refinance quickly and pull out cash, private lenders might be more flexible with both LTV and the cash-out process.

I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective. 

Starting outside of Nashville, especially in markets like Birmingham and Montgomery, makes sense if the numbers align better for your strategy, particularly with BRRRR.

It's great that you're eager to dive into real estate and find the strategies that align with your goals.
