looking to buy and rehab 50-75k houses in the surrounding area. 

From what I am being told by the contractor he would be willing to do the permits if I lived in any other the surrounding cities, but not Birmingham. 

I would talk to the city and see what they can do, they may repossess the property as it is a danger to surrounding buildings and the public, they may even sell it for cheap to an investor, because if it is abandoned chances are that nobody is paying the property taxes either.

I plan on purchasing mf in the downtowns of the cities surrounding Houston, mainly those with a more “Americana” type of feel( white picket fences, 4th of July block parties, neighbors worship together, founding families are still around and they let you know it, high walkability score, families are out on the street with neighbors, doors are unlocked.....)It is tough to comp certain property because they might be the only type (or one of the only two) AND some of these towns do not allow any more MF to go up, so the MF owners set the market.

I’m trying to find a manager who also has knowledge of the surrounding areas, including Houston, Katy, Pearland etc for future properties.

I could see this really helping to change the surrounding community as some of them will probably open up businesses or art galleries etc in the area .Just curious is it a certain age range that live in your properties or is it more a mix ?

So far, I am looking into a few properties on west JAX in a small pocket surrounded by 3 highways (90, 10 & 295) in zip code 32220.Anyone has suggestions on whether this is a good area for rental?

Any surrounding areas that we've heard good things about?

I live in Virginia Beach and I am looking to get into the multifamily scene here and in the surrounding areas.
