I'd also suggest looking into meetups once you get to the area.

Great job!

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with zero or negative relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Just moved down for a job.

@Nicholas StevensonGood suggestions to ask the seller if they can carry the note and talk to other lenders.Also a reminder there will be tax implications when you cash out on the crypto and that you should consult with your CPA before you sell.

Someone recently suggested that I used a person (unknown to me but referred) to use their credit to help be refinance.

I would suggest exploring outside of your local bank as well and exploring U.S-based lenders that work with foreign nationals and compare as banks tend to be more conservative and therefore more limited especially once you venture beyond a single-family household or condo.

I suggest reading this BP article on the core 4.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-teamIt's risky to start out with a BRRRR, especially if you don't have capital for reserves. 

@Danny WebberThank you for that suggestion.

Any suggestions for a good real estate lawyer in Alabama would be appreciated.This person has a very large legal judgement against him.
