The Bottom Line

AvoidCarroll may be challenging for traditional rentals. High prices or low rents make cash flow difficult.

Carroll County in Mississippi scores 44/100, ranking #2870 of 3,073 US counties (top 93%). At 20% down and current rates, a median-priced rental roughly breaks even on cash flow. The deal works on appreciation or with better terms, not on month-one cash flow.
