This isn't for everyone but this has really worked well for us. 

Alabama - super low property tax but the rents are lower as well but all in all a good cash flow state.  

Hi @Leila, can you please share your experience with Y Street Capital with me as well?

I started diving back into learning by reading the Real Estate Rookie and was hoping to put myself out there and find some like minded individuals that are in the beginning stages of their investing career as well.

They offer great advice on handling these situations, including tips on dealing with the sheriff and eviction procedure, as well as navigating money judgment collection.In terms of whether you should hire a lawyer or manage it yourself, it depends on the complexity of your specific case and your comfort level with the process.

The biggest question I would ask is how well they know the area such as neighborhoods and do they have connections to building a CORE 4 such as great contractors, property managers, attorneys, etc

I know the market pretty well.

All the water issues could have caused this as well.

I’m open to other suggestions as well, but especially interested in any info/suggestions regarding the markets listed below.

We have investors and opportunities in both of these cities as well other some other similar markets not too far from there.
