@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.

Compare this to other hard money lenders to ensure you’re getting a competitive deal.Reputation: Before working with any lender, it’s crucial to check reviews, reach out to other investors who’ve used them, and potentially even meet with them in person.Experience with BRRRR: If possible, find out if they have experience funding BRRRR projects specifically.
