Birmingham, Alabama: The most underrated city in the US?

[Luke Ache]

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!
