Just sold one and have two under contract that will go on the market soon.Novations is allowing us to monetize more leads by presenting an offer that is better suited for someone not desperate to sell but who wants a guaranteed net price.

The market is surprisingly high here for such a small place, but i think its because the town in growing and has a very good school system.

In today's market, what innovative strategies are you using to maximize ROI on properties that might traditionally be considered high-risk or low-yield?

STR is becoming a difficult strategy because there are so many costs (furniture maintenance, utilities, internet, etc.) that you have to factor in and if you are in an oversaturated market, then unless your property is unique, you can only compete on price.

I'd say first, figure out what kind of investing you're into and make sure that the market you choose supports it. 

We're reaching out to other professionals who have done some investing in Alabama or who are very familiar with the market, (i.e. which are the more favorable counties in which to invest?) 

There is definitely more options for investing opportunities on the open market than on the land bank. 

If you're priced out of your current market, I would definitely look into other markets where you can find great macroeconomics, positive cash flow, and amazing appreciation potential.

While this would improve the cashflow and cap rate for resale, I'm wondering if it would shrink my market of buyers, since they could no longer use conventional financing as it would no longer conform to a 2-4 unit building.

Anyone have any thoughts on Alabama as a potential market?
