@KeAnna Dakwa, I love hearing of your goals! Kudos to you! I have worked, invested and been involved in just about every aspect of real estate for over 30 + years and for the most part, it has been a great trip! I recently decided I wanted to figure out a way where investing passively, truly passively, is possible  being a non-accredited regular gal! My business partner Brian and I co-founded an investment group. And I love it! We are investing in large apartment communities, trailer parks, vacation communities, land and even a steel manufacturer. It has provided a way for our club members to diversify and spread their investments out. Brian lives in Peru and travels. Me, I wanted my own time to spend with my grandkids. So, no more screaming tenants, backed-up toilets and non-paying tenants, LOL! I so wish you the best of success! Keep those goals in mind and you will do it!!

    Hi KeAnna! It’s great to see your enthusiasm as you dive into real estate investing. The Birmingham market has been showing steady growth, with increasing demand for both single-family homes and multi-family properties. Neighborhoods in areas like Homewood and Hoover have been experiencing strong appreciation, and the rental market continues to be strong, especially with the growing number of young professionals and college students in the area.

    As a loan officer, I’m here to help you navigate the financing process, whether you’re looking for your first investment property or expanding your portfolio. Feel free to reach out with any questions about loan options or how I can support your real estate journey! Looking forward to seeing your success!

    Hi @KeAnna Dakwa,

    I'd recommend looking into the forums for the BRRRR strategy. This is a great way to build experience and get some quality rental properties under you while keeping your liquidity up to go find additional properties.

    @KeAnna Dakwa,

    Welcome to the BP community.

    Although the Bermingham market has slowed,  I still thing that this will be a good market for growth.  

    Best of luck learning about what strategy will work best for you.  Connect if you have more specific questions.
