New to Huntsville AL Single Family Home investing

[Tim Hendricks]

My investor group is expanding into the northern AL market and would like to know if anyone has advice on which areas to avoid. Which areas of town would you not want to walk down the street at night? We are looking for "middle class" homes built after 1960, 3 bedroom two bath or larger that need only cosmetic repairs. Prefer neighborhoods with mostly homeowners as opposed to areas that are almost all rentals. Homeowners tend to keep the properties maintained better. We typically invest under $130,000 so we are not looking in the high end districts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

It’s going to be a little difficult in the Huntsville area to do this for 130,000. You could look at 35803 zip or you might need to look outside of Huntsville. Maybe Athens or Decatur? I don’t know anything about those markets, but have heard they are ok.
