@Bobby Dailey - just to give a different perspective, for future appreciation of significance, I personally would not consider any of those four locations you noted (Jasper, Clanton, Eva, Oak Grove).

More difficult to see safe money-making opportunities, so it seems like, from my perspective, listings and contracts are being reported in small waves, as people dip their toes in. 

I know these are lawyer-type questions, but any layman perspective is much appreciated.Thanks again, Dan

It really depends on perspective.

I was just hoping for a fresh perspective 

Hopefully we can get connected, I will pass you along to people here that can help you acquire anything you are looking for, they can also help from a property management perspective. 

Sharing experiences, discussing local trends, and gaining local perspectives would be invaluable as I move forward with my investment goals.Additionally, if anyone has recommendations on how to find an agent who is experienced and comfortable working with international investors, I'd greatly appreciate that as well.Thanks in advance for any help and guidance!
