My husband and I are also local to the area and primarily flip and hold rentals.

Hi All,My wife and I just purchased a larger house on our block, and plan to keep our current home as a rental.

There are already 3 tenants bringing in a total of $7500 in rental income, if one moves out so I can owner occupy I make $5000. 

BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

Neighborhoods near key employers and amenities are particularly in demand.Rental Market:Huntsville’s rental market is thriving, with low vacancy rates and rising rents.

One thing to note is that property taxes are much higher, and the city enforces rental inspections more than any other market I am aware of.Having owned 100 unit rental portfolio's previously in numerous states, I think that DSM, and suburbs have incredible upside, but the key is management.

Most states with a license requirement forbid the subsequent sale or rental of an owner build for some period of time.

I love to talk shop about rentals, hard money loans, notes, deals and sweat equity (preferably very little sweat but more effective planning.)

This would be our first rental and we would be living out of state.

I have a number of rental properties in Texas.
