@Courtney Olson - you listed a lot of different areas of North Alabama that all have different characteristics, so I'll throw in my two cents here on them.Huntsville - it is tough to find deals right now that work.

Theoretically, with this same deal you would be looking at 500-600 more per month with 0% down but each situation is different.

There is one here on BP - https://www.biggerpockets.com/rental-property-calculatorGo to Tools and you will see all of the calculators they have for different investments on the site here.

While it's an old article and obviously a different city, I think a lot of the same thoughts would apply if I were to consider Hesperia-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/01/2...I would say the biggest thing you'd want to look into is the renter's pool out there.

My partner @Jami Rahman and I are looking to network with local real estate investors in Grand Rapids.

@Crystal Hawk - You have a couple different options.

These are all very very different assets and require very different expertises and experiences.

No difference. 

There is so many different ones out there, and was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction.I was also hoping to uncover what the repair costs were in the DFW market as well.

How long it takes to be financially ready is different for everyone.
