huntsville class a areas for buy and hold SFH

[Vijay Nidumolu]

Hi all Biggerpockets members,

I am trying to look for good areas with good schools and relatively low crime, to buy and hold a SFH or townhome in Huntsville .
May I know if there are any places that generally popular where we have better chance of getting good quality tenents .

Any guidance, tips are really appreciated. I used to benefit a lot from relator.com's crime map, for my high level initial research to narrow down on areas to look further. But they removed that feature from realtor.com now.

Also, is there by chance a wider talk about property prices being peaked out in huntsville , especially considering severe appreciation in last year.

regards

Finding a good investor friendly agent might be a good first step since he/she would be able to bring you deals with your specific deals.

Having a 10 year horizon for your investment is a very good way to invest. I will be happy to recommend some investor friendly agents if you are looking for one. My rule of thumb for Hsv is that any house with rents higher than 1400-1500 will have a good tenant quality.
