Would you flip a house in a market you wouldn't be comfortable holding long term? Have a potential fixer upper, but I'm not sold on the area's long term appreciation potential.

I'm looking at an 1950s, 3br/1ba fixer upper that currently has window units. Still running the numbers, but the plan is to BRRRR but flip would be the backup exit strategy.

Does anyone have experience installing HVAC in old houses that do not have central air? Is it worth the cost for rental? 


 Hey Brian,

Majority of the properties I BRRRR start out without HVAC and I put HVAC for all units. Not sure if rents will justify with HVAC alone, but I have seen tenants prefer my properties much more compared to the other rentals in the area. I would think this would play a role in your vacancies and retention for tenants as long as they are screened correctly especially in south AL!

Hope this helps! LMK if I can assist with anything else!

 Appreciate it!

Thanks for the responses. Mini splits are something to consider. I'm in South Alabama, so it's definitely humid and A/C is a necessity.

how do you typically contact owner when driving for dollars? Mail, knock in door, phone call?

Anyone with a different experience more recently? I noticed most of the posts are 3 years old.

Quote from @Donnie M.:

This will be our first meetup. We will meet every 1st Tuesday of each month.

Networking event with no pitching or selling of anything. Just hang out and learn from one another. No speaker up there talking for 1 hour straight. About 10-15 minutes, at most, of speaking and the rest is networking. No specific topic set for this first meeting but I'd be glad to talk about BRRRR or anything else someone wants to talk about.

No investing experience is required to come.

Meeting Location:
 25369 US-98, Daphne, AL 36526 (Daphne CoWork is the building and it has a teal metal roof - enter through double doors in front. It's across the street from Harbor Freight Tools)

Date & Time: Tuesday, February 6th from 6:00 to 7:00

No experience required and feel free to invite family, friends, kids, and anyone you know who may be interested in getting into real estate in any way. Can make it on time? That's alright, show up anytime before 7:00 to still get some good conversations in.

I just started a Facebook group as well. Feel free to join, assuming BP allows the link to show. https://www.facebook.com/groups/easternshorerealesate/ 

My contact info is below or you can message me on BP. Thank you

Thanks for starting this! I'm in Atmore, so it's not always easy to get over there by 6 PM, but I am interested in Baldwin county. Looking forward to attending at some point!

This is awesome! I am looking at duplexes that would require that much down for just conventional financing. Did you have a certain plan you implemented to come across this deal? I am currently exploring networking opportunities to source deals like this!


I found this deal from a cold email.  


 What is a cold email?


 An unsolicited email sent to someone you don't know.
