New Agent & Investor

Hey there bigger pockets world! I am a new agent looking for some advice/an investor who needs boots on the ground in the Alabama market. I have been in sales for almost a decade, it was more B2B than anything. My goal is to buy/sell 10 houses in my first year. I also am looking to invest in some properties in the Birmingham and surrounding area to help build my net worth. I am partnering up with an old college buddy to create an LLC for our investment portfolio, but I am also looking for any other input in terms of best price ranges to start with, perhaps types of homes to look for (apartments, townhomes, SFH etc.)

What tips do you guys have for starting out? I am already with a great brokerage, am setting up my personal website, as well as CRM tool to keep track of what I have going.

Thanks in advance!!

@Jordan Holt

Don’t go to Center point. Shooting and stealing and not landlord friendly.

Stay away from Birmingham schools.

Follow the schools. Good luck
