From what I've seen in this area right now, it seems like you'd have a hard time paying market LTR rents and making a good spread. 

I’m active in the market and happy to share insights on neighborhoods, financing options, or connect you with resources.

Having a strong agent or team is crucial for identifying the right opportunities, navigating the market, and scaling effectively.Good luck!

I sold all my SFR rentals in that markets as collecting rent and keeping houses in good shape was just too tough.. ( thats jackson proper)  as I said madison and Ridgeland will be fine..

And if houses are showing an owner having been there for 10+ years when that owner actually sold 8 months ago, then I might market to a completely unqualified lead. 

Since you’re focused on buy & hold multiplexes, consider networking with local investors, refining your underwriting skills, and researching markets with strong cash flow and appreciation potential.

-Finding off-market deals and securing financing with limited capital.

For your seller its an effective sales price of ask - 2% using your assumed $500,000 thats $490,000, a real good offer depending on your market.  

I’m currently with a group that will be building homes in specific markets, and it would be really helpful to have a tool that can generate data and reports in Excel spreadsheets for easy analysis.I’ve heard of CloudCMA, but I wanted to get opinions on whether this would be the best fit for our needs or if there are other programs that might be better suited to the homebuilding industry.Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated!

What is the average spread in the market(s) you are in for flips?
