Tiplexes and Quadplexes in Birmingham?

[Kyle H.]

Hi All,

My new job is going to relocate me to Alabama where I can choose to live in either Birmingham or Huntsville. My main goal is to buy a 3-4 plex that I can live in for a year before buying a 2nd one. Does Birmingham have a decent inventory of 3-4 plexes where this strategy would be viable for me? Is there a certain neighborhood or suburb of the city where a majority of them are? Does one of these cities have many more 3-4 plexes than the other (Bham vs Huntsville)? Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
