Agreed, and in many cases, insurance is destroying cash flow if not pushing it into negative territory. 

@Harinath Pottam your paving new territory with that price point and idea.

There are no guarantees, but all of this is extreme bull territory. 

In most instancdes anything higher than that is more flip territory now with the higher interest rates. 

I knew there were others out there going through the same thing :) I agree- we've been able to work with investor-friendly lenders to secure conventional loans that allow us to buy properties and honestly, i've never really leveraged credit cards for RE or RE related purchases so this was slightly new territory for me.

@Alex Ng,It’s still possible to find a property for under $100,000 in Birmingham in 2023, but like @Matt Wallington said, you’re probably going to be edging into C neighborhood territory if you want a rent-ready property.

I'm in unchartered territory.

Yes, you'll probably get some pitches - it comes with the territory - but legitimate meetups focus on providing value first, with networking happening naturally. 

But I have mountains of experience to share; and I'll absolutely share it, you may not like what you have to hear and that comes with territory.

Thank you but Katy is not near my chosen territory.
