Where To Go To Run Due Diligence On A Property?

[Joshua Espejo]

Hello BiggerPockets!

I just got under contract for a 6-plex with a reputable turn-key company who is very active on BiggerPockets.

I ran some numbers and used propstream and vestmap to get an idea of the demographic and properties in the area. Everything seemed to check out pretty good numbers wise and in terms of tenant pool.

I've been researching more on the particular zip code of the property in terms of BiggerPocket's opinions on it, and it doesn't seem promising. I want to know where else I can look to vet moving forward with this purchase. Right now, I am thinking of calling property managers to get their opinion of the area... But where else do you go to look online? 

I also did a Google Maps Street View -- there are some run down houses next to it, but also a nice-looking freshly-renovated apartment complex on the same block.

I know this turn-key company is very reputable, so I trust their judgement... I am just concerned with my findings from BP on this zip code.

The zip code is 35205, Birmingham AL if anyone has experience with the area.

Thanks!
