You should be able to find property with decent cashflow in Birmingham AL. 

The average rent to price ratio for the entire municipality is hovering at 0.67% and has been steadily rising for the past few years.

I would focus my search efforts on the western side of town if you are looking to maximize cash flow, just be carful about not investing in a part of town that is considered high risk.
