I support what everyone said above.

Some other good ones: Set for Life by @Scott Trench, 10X Rule by Grant Cardone, and Cashflow Quadrant.

I'm not quite sure if the market supports it.

Follow all the rules, Rent roll, leases and T12.

@Michael KistnerMake sure that your rental income covers your basis and you can support your living situation with the job.

Accept **** happening in RE as a rule, not an exception.

Or, you can setup a support number for the tenants to call you, but collecting rent can and will be a pain.

A few things that may be helpful to you here on the Bigger Pockets website as you search for a team to support your first buy:You can set up keyword alerts so anytime someone posts about Huntsville or apartments / multi-families, you'll be notified.

We tend to discount them and instead seek out opinions that support the ones we already have.

Last piece of advice, if you have to go through a re-zone or variance process, reach out to the local neighborhood associations and/or adjacent property owners to garner support.
