Some options that might be viable for you include: Private Lenders – Such investors usually offer short-term lending but provide greater flexibility compared to a traditional hard money lender.Lines of Credit – Another alternative could be an excellent option to finance several deals at once using a business line of credit or HELOC (if it applies).

Increased demand for historic district rentals and excellent rental history.

House hacking is an excellent strategy, especially with the potential to use an FHA loan to secure a property with a low down payment. 

@Lillian Pintaro,Birmingham’s a lucrative market—it’s been my stomping ground for nearly 20 years, and you can find some excellent deals if you know what you’re after and dive deep by zip code, neighborhood, and city block.For what it’s worth, we manage 2,000+ units (many for out-of-state investors) mostly in the north and west part of town—so think suburbs outside the city limits like Graysville (35073), Adamsville (35005), Mount Olive (35117), Center Point (35215), and the like.Since you’re also open to the surrounding areas, places like Odenville (to the east) and Tuscaloosa (to the southwest) could be worth checking out.

Both are excellent.  

Rentvine's excellent customer service spoils me, and I can't imagine using software with lousy customer service. 

@Eric Hrlbock Excellent !
