@Daniel Windingstad I work with hundreds of investors who prefer the southern/middle part of the country because the price points are more affordable and the laws are landlord friendly.

When you get to the closing table you make sure you close around the middle of the month so you walk away from the closing table with all the security deposits (do they have to be in seperate accounts in your state?)

I normally suggest being right smack dab in the middle with a low risk B class asset.   

I know there are lots of Memphis and CC investors here and appreciate any help.Hey CJ,For context, we're not having issues with the pace of turnaround, but a lot of moving parts can go wrong at the wrong time and derail any one property at any time. 

Many investors and sellers tend to slower pace during this time, anticipating a busier market in Q4.

We got 4 quotes and went with the contractor whose quote came in the middle but we liked the most. 

If I rent out my current primary residence, I could generate over $1K in positive cash flow, so I'm considering moving into the rental property and handling the repairs at a more manageable pace.

Another SFH I am in the middle of refi...purchased for 57k, put 20k into it, appraised for 120k, rented for $1,250, 8.25% rate, breaks even and pulling 13k out.

In today's fast-paced real estate environment, having a flexible strategy is key to growth.

I'd argue he could out pace what others did before.
