I'm from Huntsville as well.  Venturing into wholesaling here in the area.  Working my first marketing campaign.  Welcome @Charles

@Gorden Lopes I wholesale properties in Huntsville.  Wouldn't mind shooting you an email when they become available.  DM me with a good email address.  I'll shoot you a few questions to further ascertain your investment preferences.

Good evening!  I'm attempting to try and get a quick and dirty estimate to install an HVAC into a home described above.  I'm using the BP calculator and went to ensure I've got a reasonable estimate on my costs.  I'll physically see the home tomorrow, but  based on the photos, there are no vents or duct work, just a few A/C units.  I'm going to assume for calculation purposes that a full install will be required.

This is a rent ready property.  Former tenants were using A/C window units.

I'll be seeking some estimates/bids in from contractors at the beginning of the week, but wanted an idea of what to expect cost wise as well as the see if there is a good rule of thumb to keep in mind when looking at future investment opportunities. 

I was wondering what experiences other REIs have had in the Florence, Tuscumbia and Shoals areas of AL. I've been recently market testing the area a bit and getting some mild feedback. However, on the buying side of the house (my experience), buyers seem to be have more of an interest in Huntsville (I live in Huntsville).  For obvious reasons, I'm sure, but from what I've been able to tell Florence, Tuscumbia and the Shoals may have something to offer.

I'd be interested in hearing from those who have pursued opportunities in the aforementioned areas. What was your experience? Are you getting traction with your marketing? Do you have buyers expressing interest in those areas?

Thanks!

All, thanks for the offer.  I've left a couple of voicemails for the potential client, but haven't heard back.  I'm gauging the level of motivation to not be very high. But I'm going to call again tomorrow and continue to market to her.  She's in the 35805 area.  Even if things don't work out, I'd still like to run the numbers and show them to someone just to make sure that I'm using the BP calculator properly so @Jason Grey, @Kevin Cedeno, @Caleb Bryant, and @Samuel Garrett I may shoot you an email requesting your assistance.

I've gotten another call from a client about two days ago.  He's a pretty heavy rental property owner in Huntsville and is having some permit issues with a property in the 35816 area. House has a very weird layout.  He talked my ear off for about an hour.  He's started some work on the place, but it needs gas and power to be hooked up to it.  I don't understand "rehab lingo" so I got a little lost after awhile.  

My research online shows that at one time, the house was deemed unsafe by the City (unsafe conditions).  Not sure what's happened with it since then.  Client didn't mention any "unsafe conditions."

Bottom Line:  For now, it's good to see that the marketing is at least getting people to pick up the phone.  I'll keep pressing forward.

Good evening!  New to wholesaling here in Huntsville.  I took action and conducted my first small Yellow Letter campaign about a week ago.  Proud to say that I got my first response call today.  I'm working the BP wholesale calculator and just want to make sure that the numbers I'm using make sense for the Huntsville area. 

If you've done a deal and can spare a few minutes via phone, email or coffee to do a sanity check with me.  It would be appreciated.  If you're a buyer and the deal looks good, you'd be my first consideration.

Thanks!

Shawn

@Vernon Trice III, @Kevin Cedeno I wouldn't mind getting in on that lunch or meeting somewhere on the Arsenal.  Just let me know.

@Kevin Cedeno, greetings and welcome aboard.  I'm here in Huntsville as well.  You said "Missile Defense"....I'm assuming you're at MDA?  I work on the foreign military sales side of the house over at USASAC.

What avenue of investing are you in/considering?
