BHAM and HSV SFR or MFR investments
Hi - Sorry, if this has been asked before. I'm considering Birmingham and Huntsville area for SFR
(3 bed/2 bath)/Duplex. Is there top level pros/cons? Is there
neighborhoods to avoid? Looking mainly Class C or Class B properties -
professional, students, small family renters target.
Also, there seems to be high risk of tornadoes/high winds - looked around for data. Does anyone have insight? Would appreciate it.
I'm also looking to build a local team to help and work with. Please direct message me.

Hi Shakil...Welcome to BP! Thanks for your question.
Birmingham and Huntsville are very strong rental markets that provide good cash flow and appreciation. I have worked in both of these markets for the last 10 years. I am happy to give you some guidance. Feel free to reach out and I will give you the 411.
Cheers!
