Thanks all! @Lee Waldrop, I'd love to buy you a cup of coffee and talk real estate. I'm sure I could learn a lot. @Matt Robinson, I'm sure I could learn a lot from you too. We should plan a get together for the bigger pockets members in South Alabama sometime this fall, when I've settled in.

@Russell Norgreen

Thank you for the welcome and the encouragement! I am absolutely going to do this! 

Hi all :) I will soon be a resident of Baldwin County. Just sold a buy and hold home in Montevallo, south of Birmingham,  that I bought as a foreclosure and used as my primary residence for about 8 years. Making a good profit, closing in 2 weeks. I plan to use the profits to help fund a home or condo on or near the gulf or the canal in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores. My husband and I plan to travel every summer to cooler climates lol, in our RV, so we'd like something that we could rent out during the summer through a property management company, while we travel. Looking for a good deal of course. I found one already, unfortunately I will not close on my home in time to take advantage of it. It occurred to me that I knew investors in the are I could share this kind of information so that someone else might be able to benefit from it. In return, perhaps they'll someday have a deal that they can't act on, that they'll tell me about. There is power in networking! Let's get together!

Hi all :) I am a wanna be real estate investor. I jut sold my own home and will be relocating to the Alabama Gulf Coast by the end of August. Was looking for real estate deals in that area and just came across one that has me drooling. But alas, it's an absolute auction that requires 15% of sale price within 24 hours, so I'll have to pass, as i don't close on my home for 2 more weeks. That's ok though. I found this one, I can find another :) My goal is to start slowly, purchasing a home or condo on or near water that I can occupy in the winter and  rent out during the summer through a property management while I travel to cooler climates with my husband in our RV. If that proves to be a good experience, then I'll slowly add to my holdings, one property at a time. I'd love to hear about any investor groups in the area and would like to connect with like minded souls. Introduce yourself please :)
