I went to Birmingham for the first time this weekend to assess the current market and try to spot opportunities. I liked the city, it has a lot of potential, there are a lot of distressed properties and vacant lots in great locations, very close to Downtown and the UAB campus, gentrification is already happening but I would study the market and economic trends before investing there. I work with an investor that is originally from Birmingham and he thinks the potential is there although, there are issues with property crime in certain areas- If you have not been there, it is a housing market worth studying in my opinion.

BHM for the win!! Wife and I moved up here from Sarasota, FL for her residency at UAB. Bham has blown away our expectations and we’re proud to call it home for the next 4 years or so.
People are nice, investments come at a great value, there’s plenty to do around town, traffic is reasonable, the airport is the fastest in the world to get through, and the food is off the charts!!
A true hidden gem of the South and only room to grow!

I've spent many months in the Birgmingham area during work trips to Hoover. It is an area with a ton of potential that I've put on my list of places to consider as I go deeper into this business.
