Mandy Carling, Northeast Florida Realtor - Build 2 Rent

Today, I’m pausing to honor all who have served — the brave men and women who’ve sacrificed, protected, and given so much for the freedoms we enjoy every day. 🇺🇸

It’s such an honor to help our veterans take meaningful steps toward building stability and wealth here at home. One of my favorite recent moments was helping a VA buyer secure a duplex with zero down and a 4.5% rate — allowing them to live in one unit and rent the other.

I’m continually inspired by the strength and resilience our veterans carry into every chapter of their lives. For any veterans thinking about using their VA loan benefit, opportunities like this can be a great way to build both home and long-term financial security.

Service deserves opportunity — and being part of that journey is something I’m truly grateful for. ❤️

Q: Why Alabama is a Top Build-to-Rent Market?
A: Alabama continues to punch above its weight in attracting capital and development. Here are some of the major recent and ongoing developments shaping its growth:

J.M. Smucker: recently opened a $1.1 billion production facility in McCalla, creating up to 750 new jobs.

Novelis: is building a $4+ billion aluminum rolling and recycling plant in Baldwin County — one of the largest industrial investments in state history.
First Solar: is developing a major EV / solar manufacturing facility in Lawrence County, helping push Alabama into the “Battery Belt” of the Southeast.

* The state is being recognized for its pro-business climate, scoring top rankings in property tax, regulatory environment, incentives, and site readiness.

Mobile: Port expansion and infrastructure upgrades are fueling a “Golden Age” for international trade, shipbuilding, and quality-of-life investments.
Huntsville: Ditto Landing redevelopment is transforming the riverside with a $13.2 million upgrade to its docks and event spaces.

Birmingham Northern Beltline: (I-422), a proposed ~52.5-mile bypass, is slated to be Alabama’s most expensive highway when completed — total cost estimated at ~$5.4 billion.

Step inside this modern, investor-ready 1,497 sq ft, 4 bed / 2 bath single-family rental — built for durability, efficiency, and long-term passive income. This property is a prime example of why Alabama is emerging as a top-tier build-to-rent (B2R) market.

A 40-Year Interest-Only DSCR Loan is the best loan for most investors!

The #1 reason: Accessing your equity is free. When you pay down principal while you’re trying to scale, you’re actually locking away your own money — and the only way to get it back is to pay for it again (through a HELOC or refinance).

With a 40-year interest-only structure:
☑️ You keep more of your cash flow in your pocket
☑️ You can redeploy capital into more properties faster
☑️ You’re not forced to “buy back” equity you already earned
☑️ You still get long-term appreciation upside
☑️ And after 10 years, it converts to a 30-year amortization — with the same fixed rate for all 40 years
📈 The result? Faster portfolio growth, more liquidity, and the flexibility to invest on your terms. We are getting to buy down the rates to 5.25% (The lowest possible rate for a DSCR Loan).

🚀 Bonus Depreciation is Back! You need to talk to your CPA about how to maximize the benefits ASAP!!!

Here is our Founder & CEO, Alvin Taveras', advice:

Buy a $400,000 duplex → Put $100K down → Run a cost segregation study → Get $47K back in Year 1.

🏡 That’s nearly 50% of your down payment refunded by the IRS.
Why? Because the government lets you depreciate parts of the property immediately:
