If you're interested in fixing and flipping, it might all be worth it....but maybe not.Downtown Goldsboro -- despite its big renovation of Center Street and attempt to create a thriving downtown area -- isn't really appealing to a lot of people who didn't grow up in the immediate area.

I remain open minded, but the BRRRR model of investing really appeals to me, in SFH or small multifamily.

If Rent to Own is the most appealing I know a few people who are actively doing this strategy.Thanks again for reaching out.Kris

It’s in a vacation area on the east end of Long Island and I believe we can use it as a short term rental.He has no mortgage on the property and I am closing on my first investment property this Thursday so I’m thinking seller financing is the way to go.I’m looking for advice on how to structure a deal with the owner that will be appealing to him and a win for me.

But keeping the stuff off balance sheet has some appeal for the CFO types and their bankers.Is there a parallel here for our cars?

@Jay Paul Jenkins, because of peculiarities in Alabama tax sale law, and the large number of ways the tax sale might be void or someone might have extended redemption rights, or it might be recoverable for former owner of the short statute of limitations has expired, you will NOT be able to find a title company to insure title unless you've filed your quiet title lawsuit, obtained an order that is final and non-appealable, AND the title insurance company has reviewed the court file to make sure there were no jurisdictional defects that would void your quiet title order. 

I also knew I wanted to buy multiple properties and eventually self manage so fewer, larger properties was much more appealing from a time commitment perspective. 

Instant equity was appealing as well as the property location in proximity to downtown Wake Forest.

I can relate to the appeal of investing out of state if you are looking for better cash flow.
