Want to link up with an agent that can find us off-market deals, as well as a GC in the area that is familiar with fix&flip or BRRRR strategies. 

I've seen along I-20 (between Atlanta and Birmingham), or along I-65 (between Birmingham and Huntsville), areas like Oxford, Lincoln, Pell City, Cullman etc,  there are some new builds 3bd/2ba for around 200k - 220k range, rent for about 1.5k, for a buy-hold strategy, I feel comfortable as long as it has a positive cashflow (with 25% down). 

Remember, appraisers are professionals, and communication is key—explain your BRRR strategy and collaborate with your lender for flexibility.

I am considering using a different strategy but will STR again if I can't financially figure out how to make other strategies work.

Ask uncle James and uncle Engelo on 10+ years of data…
