If you’re looking for a good balance between appreciation and cash flow, there’s a lot of opportunity in suburbs to the west, including Adamsville, Forestdale, Pleasant Grove, and the like.If you’re open to nearby markets as well, Tuscaloosa could also be a fast-growing spot with strong student tenants worth looking into.

With hardwork and ceasing opportunities we've managed to be part of this major asset and making it even better.
