Gentrification in Birmingham

[Alex Ng]

Hi im looking to invest in Birmingham Alabama. Im currently under contract for a multifam in East Lake. I heard East Lake is gentrifying. How long do you think it'll take for the neighborhood to gentrify? I drove around the area and a lot of houses still boarded up and its on a street by street basis. The multifam im buying on has some boarded up houses and some trash lying on the ground. What areas in Birmingham are gentrifying that I should invest in?
