I like Huntsville and anything within 50 miles including Cullman. People in Cullman work in Birmingham and Huntsville (federal money & high tech & auto). Same way with Clanton Alabama. People there work in Montgomery (state money) and Birmingham. Baldwin county across bay from Mobile has been going big last 20 years. Auburn and Tuscaloosa college towns but students scare me. Don't know enough. Florence area is good. Parts of Mobile is good 12th largest seaport in country direct shot to Cuba.

Stay away from any area depending on coal miners. No work for them.

Good luck JP

You could do a lot worse than Huntsville Al.

Huntsville will probably be the largest city in the state in next 10 years.

Huntsville, long known as "Rocket City," lately also is saluted as a "Pentagon of the South." That mean lots of government money. Lot of people in and out with good paychecks. I would check it out.

Good luck. JP

Hi Jeremy. I really like using the RealthySouth web site. I have several grouping  and you can check for new listing and reduced price with the schools that you want. Hope it helps.

Welcome aboard Terry Edwards. I also am in Birmingham. Looks like I am closing on a house to flip in the Pinson area in 2 weeks and putting numbers and looking at subs. Any interest?

I own and manage a few homes for the last 10 years.

I will be at the AIA meeting tomorrow night in Homewood about 6:30. Maybe we can get together.

Good luck. JP

@Denise Evans. I agree 100%. Good luck RTR. JP

My state requires 48 hour notice. Below is what Kansas allow. Good Luck JP

The 35217 is primarily Tarrant City Alabama not with laws that are not landlord friendly.

Good luck. JP

Michael welcome to BP. I am just up the road. If I can be of help let me know. Good luck . JP

Contract offer just came back with only 3 days to "inspect" property instead of the 7 Days as requested. On top of that no electricity or water is on. We have our price and close within 30 days but my inspector can not do his job without utilities being on. I went back with 4 days after utilities are turned on.  Any thoughts . Thanks JP

I am sorry. Number 9, stoves and cooktops. Been there, done that with the stoves and cooktops, refrigerator and dishwasher. I have been know to dispose of a dishwasher in a home so I would not have to fix it. Several used appliance places in the Birmingham area. My granddaughter (RN) just got her first apartment and I directed her to Lewie's in Pelham and North Birmingham. She paid $300 for a W&D used delivered. We all have to start somewhere. Thanks JP
