Quote from @Malcolm Brown: @Jaycee Greene That's one of the towns that does not fit into my criteria.ThanksRight county, wrong town?

The best setups have:5-11 members (ideally 6-8).1 bedroom per member.1 bathroom for every 3 members.Look for properties with these specs:6-8 bedrooms.2-4 bathrooms.Ample parking (street or otherwise).Detached houses fit this formula beautifully, but other property types can work too.

If you want to swing for the fences, that 3 yr, value-add deal with floating rate debt may be the right fit.  

If you have a cooperative Seller, walk through each unit and inspect together.

After rehabbing, we expect these homes to rent out for about $1,300 per month.Neighborhoods in west Birmingham—like Forestville, Adamsville, and Pleasant Grove—could also fit your criteria.

It wouldn't be a scam, but it wouldn't be a fit either.

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

Depending on area, coverage needs I have seen varying carriers best fit the policy needed.

If the deal fits your parameters then go for it, otherwise skip it and find another.

I want to earn my clients business and if for some reason they decide the relationship isn't working then they should walk away (but don't leave your agent high and dry haha).Commission is completely negotiable.
