Quote from @Shane Dreffs:

Hi Zane,

I live and invest in Alabama, but the answer to your question depends on your strategy:

Are you looking for turnkey or distressed / rehab properties, do you plan to self-manage or use a property manager, what class neighborhood, are you buying cash or how much will you put down, are you willing to look at cities just outside of Huntsville? 

Send me a message if you would like to discuss in more detail. 


 Hi Shane, 

I am looking for turnkey property. I will use a property manager and am not sure on what class area I will go with at this time. I will be putting down 25%. thank you for the reply and looking forward to your thoughts.

@Zane K. Sounds like you are experienced and Huntsville has been growing rapidly -


I definitely have a lot to learn. Thank you for the reply. 

Quote from @John Mason:

Long term wealth is always on appreciation not cash flow but to each his own


 There are many places that appreciate that I would not invest my money. I am not discounting appreciation but my goal for now is cash flow. 

Thanks for the comment. 

Quote from @John Mason:

If you go here and put that address what does it show as market value and history?


 Appreciation is a bonus to me. Not my main focus. 

Quote from @River Sava:

Hey Zane - 

I am from Huntsville originally and it has grown significantly over the last couple of years. It might be tricky investing out of state, but Huntsville is a fantastic spot for mid and long-term rentals if you are open to those strategies. You have the tech/biotech and aerospace industries bringing in a lot of jobs, the university, and the city's population is steadily growing. It is also an affordable place to live, espeically comared to CA, with a a strong demand for rental properties. Happy to connect and chat further if you have any questions. 

Hi River, 

I just sent you a message. Thank you!

Unfamiliar with Huntsville but heard great things about the Alabama coast and have several friends investing in the region..a healthy first step will be connecting with an investor focused and friendly lender. .check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he's my go to investor lender for 20+ years. 

Thank you for your reply and the recommendation. 
Quote from @Joseph Chiofalo:

Hi Zane, 

Many of our investor buyers have purchased in the Huntsville area. The metropolitan area is expected to experience a steady growth trajectory. 

Were you targeting single family homes or multi-unit properties?

I am open to both single family and multi family homes. If I can find a turnkey multi family property in my price range that would be best case scenario. 
Quote from @Melanie P.:

You will do better at this investing close to where you live and being hands on. 

That said, I wish you only the very best if you're determined to stay this course.

I live in California. I will not be able to purchase a property anywhere close to where I live. 

Thank you for the reply. 

Hi Everyone, 

I am looking to purchase out of state rental properties. I would like to stick to my max purchase price of $250k. My goal is cashflow with appreciation being a bonus.

I am would love to hear your experience with long term rentals in Huntsville around this purchase price. 

Any insight to this market would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an experienced agent in Columbus, Ohio. I want someone with experience working with investment properties for an out-of-state investor, and who can provide cash flow analysis on 1-4 unit properties, a minimum of 5 years of experience is preferred.

Please leave me your email in the comments and I will reach out to you directly.

Thank you!
