How can you figure out where there are areas of signifigant growth in the u.s. as im hearing like places of birmingham,and dallas/forth worth areas

So me and the wife just completed our trip to Birmingham and thought we would share our experience and thoughts.Birmingham is a small city but you would never guess from the way it is spread out.

Lastly, if you have identified Birmingham as an area, find a good realtor.

I have turn keys in Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Birmingham.

We will be able to add $200-$300k of appraised value with the renovations so ideally, I would love to refinance when done in order to pull out the cash we spend on the renovation (and more) and put that towards another purchase in Birmingham where we also invest (we want to stay in this Denver house for 3-4 yrs before moving because the STR income will more than cover the mortgage and be quite profitable). 

I'm always ready to diversify myself by observing what's happening in other markets eg: Birmingham, Kansas City, and Jacksonville.

But when out of state in Birmingham Indy and Atlanta after and never looked back.

Greater Birmingham has some gems out there. 

(Atlanta have quite a few of those for instance) Those neighbourhoods, may continue to drop in prices at least for a while.Check my first house I bought in Birmingham, ALhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/galleries/show/5415I paid $24,000 for it including rehab and it is rented for $650.

I’d try Bryant Bank if they operate there.For size, The rule of thumb when I was researching Birmingham was assets between 400 mil and 2 bil.
