I usually invest / work in Birmingham area, but I have been looking at properties in Baldwin County and plan to invest there also.

DM me if you're ever interested in property(s) within an hour of the Harrisburg area.

In fact, I have still been increasing my monthly ask with turnover.I agree with what @Dena Puliatti said - it is not a cash flow play in Huntsville right now whatsoever, but more of a "break even" cash flow play for appreciation.Folks, there is a LOT of dysinformation on Bigger Pockets right now about the Huntsville and Madison areas in numerous BP threads right now - more than I have ever seen in the past.

Hello Mason.I am looking to invest in the Knoxville area in the near future and would be interested in any recommendations you may have. 

I paid the first $5K but started having second thoughts because of high vacancy rates in the area.

I think this discussion becomes a lot more nuanced on single family homes because they typically are situationlly turned into rentals like yours in nicer areas.

I am looking into my STR options but from what I have learned this is a overflowing market in the area and the vacancy's are increasing so I may look into mid term and long term only.

I live in New Jersey area.
