If its someone you know vs someone you do not it will be different.

Want to know how?

@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.

I dont know the area well enough yet so looking for any insight whether or not you can get a little cash flow and appreciation together.

Here is my account LOL, I don't know why it logged me in the other way without my account connected.

I’m hearing mixed opinions from people I know. 

I know some that close 6 to 7  a month like that.

Do you know how much the typical bills have been in the past?
