Attention Realtors and Property Managers
I live in an area that under most circumstances that doesn't currently cash flow for new deals and deals are selling at a higher premium than any other place in the country. I am looking for alternative markets to put my money into.
Through my research I've selected Birmingham, Memphis, and San Antonio as my front running markets.
Give me a 3 Bullet Point list on why I should invest in Birmingham
- Statistics are encouraged, however, I am also interested in the feel and vibe of the city and prominent areas.
Looking forward to hearing your responses!

1. 2nd lowest property tax rate in the country.
2. Top 10 state for lowest unemployment rate.
3. Top employers: UAB, Regions, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Shipt, Mercedes Benz, Alabama Power, and many more!
Wife and I moved up here from Sarasota, FL for her Psych residency at UAB. Was nervous at first just not knowing anything about the city, but couldn’t be happier and love this city. We’ve even made some investments here and plan to keep adding!
Let me know if you’d like to connect and chat more about the city.
Happy Investing!
