@Prashant Kamath

thanks for specific reply!

I will absolutely follow those guidelines for investing. Using the MLS, I have not seen many or any, homes in those SPECIFIC areas that show the kind of cash flow I'm seeking.

As you well know, higher cost/lower cash flow and vice versa. Are you able to PM me? This app is buggy!

@David Saget

Did you ever get that Birmingham PM question addressed? All I hear is crickets in this market, which seems so tragic?

@Prashant Kamath

Did you ever get your Birmingham PM question answered? Not many of us here in that space, it seems...

@Chris Prichard, thank you for the insights. The always/never mindset does seem a bit rigid to me, but I also can't discount another's experience. I appreciate the specific suggestions, I hadn't heard that particular nugget before. I am working with a local agent but she's not investor oriented, I had hoped to teach her those points. Maybe that's asking too much?

Feel free to PM me if you are up for that! I will run my list through the filter to try and limit exposure to that area code you mentioned, as well as limit the higher crime, type of stuff.

Thanks again!

@JohnPatton, thanks for the suggestion! I will very much use your suggestion!

@Dawn Vought, that really sucks! I'm so sorry that you got the painful end of the stick!

I did note that you seemed to purchase a portfolio of cheaper homes from an out of state dealer in NY, and that renovations or rehab were needed initially, if I'm reading you correctly?

Is it possible that a local realtor could have given better local advice? Most contractors are just not that awesome, in my unfortunate assessment, nor are the bulk of PMs.

anyhoo, I'm glad you made it out successfully, and I really do value your words of advice!

It is much appreciated!

@Dawn Vought,

so sorry to hear that! Did you feel your issues were related primarily to contractor rehab, section 8 tenants proper, or poor management?

i sincerely appreciate your time!

@David Chriswick

Just read your older post on Birmingham, thanks for chiming in!

Not sure if you ultimately purchased there or not, but I'd love to hear any words you might have on the experience.

I'll be buying a home or three they're hopefully in the coming month.

Take care and stay safe!

Just read your post, I appreciate your willingness to help out. I will be picking up a few homes in the coming month or so hopefully.

@Melissa Nash

Thank you for your post, I myself will be entering this market in the coming month. Please feel free to contact me with any random thoughts you might have on this market, if nothing else I'm always interested in a pleasant chit chat with another motivated investor.

Thanks, and take care
