I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.

Hey yall I’m 20 years old currently serving in the U.S.

The current owner of the property has the property under land contract with 4 remaining years on contract.

Some other great resources I recommend as a real estate investor myself are: "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, REtipster (www.retipster.com), and Rental Income Podcast with Dan Lane.

We currently lease a property and house the men, but for the price and our program it is proving to be unsuitable. 

I’m a new investor, currently living and thinking of investing in Austin.

Another benefit is you can enter the market sooner with a lower cost of entry( down payments 10-15%), helping you scale and make real estate a full-time income source sooner.
