@Cosmo DePinto,I’ve seen investors do great in Huntsville—let me share a few detailsIn short, yes—it’s arguably one of the strongest markets in Alabama for a balance between cash flow and appreciation.

If you base your tenant charges on the historical average, you should come very close to collecting the entire amount over a one-year period.Charge a higher rate.

Purchase price: $125,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $250,000 Wish I could have held onto it but needed the money to fund future deals What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I have to sell it, but guess who has to request the payoff amount from the lender….thats right, the ORIGINAL borrower.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 The property is a 2 bed 2 bath with a den and a 1 car garage.

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

Essentially are you cash flow positive or negative each month?

However, I do like the idea of bringing less cash to the table.Any thoughts between these two options?

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This time I acquired a property that needed little to no work.

I have enough liquid money for the down payment for the hard money lender, but that'll leave me with zero cash for closing costs, realtor fees, etc.
