I’m looking currently in the Birmingham/Montgomery market, any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated  Hey @Eric Fernandez, welcome to the BP Forum!

I work with a lot of investors in Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

With strong rental demand, affordability, and plenty of value-add opportunities, Birmingham is looking like a solid market for investors.

Quote from @Peter Dukaj: Troy, Birmingham, and Royal Oak does not compare to vacant Detroit properties Yes, Peter.

That being said, I think (from my cursory knowledge of the two cities) that Houston is a generally better market than Cincinnati.

•Growing Appreciation Story – The city has been on a long-term revitalization trend, and we’ve seen steady price growth over the last decade.

DC is the same as any World city or beachfront.  

Even if you were to look at all of just one city it can be overwhelming at times. 

If I remember right about 1/2 of FBI HDQ staff is in Birmingham.
