Hey @Nikelyia Waters! From my experience, start by running a true cash-flow analysis that includes taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy, so you know your real numbers, not just a quick 1% rule. Look for neighborhoods with strong rental demand, job growth, and improving amenities, but also walk the street to spot red flags like deferred maintenance or high turnover. Always get a solid inspection and budget for CapEx so you're not surprised by a roof or furnace. And before you buy, map out your exit, whether that's a BRRRR refinance, long-term hold, or a flip because your financing, rehab scope, and tenant strategy all tie back to that plan.
