Any other government agency?

You’ll likely need to look beyond the city limits (in areas that are still close enough to the city to benefit from its local economic tailwinds) if you want to find deals that pencil out.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@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.

Crexi, Loopnet are probably the two biggest but why not work with an agent that can present you with multiple off market and listed deals?

We ended up passing on the deal. 

So you’d be hoping to make $200/months for dealing with 3 x as many tenants, vacancies, tenant on tenant conflict, late payments, etc etc. . 

Oil heating costs are outrageous and you also have to deal with leaking tanks which can be a nightmare.

Was the business credit enough to put towards a deal?
