There are great deals in Alabama (Birmingham for instance) but you need to be there because despite the fact that there are tons of properties on the market, there are very few that you can call "great deals" and once they come out on the market, you got to be ready (You snooze, you loose type of thing) If you made yourself familiar (I mean really familiar - cost, rent and rentability, quality, etc) with a good area of investing, your knowledge could be a gold mine to investors.

& Birmingham, Alabama.Outside of those 4 above you may also want to look intoCincinnati, OhioDayton, OhioToledo, OhioYoungstown, OhioCincinnati, OhioMemphis, TennesseeSaint Louis, MissouriIndianapolis, IndianaErie, PennsylvaniaLouisville, KentuckyMilwaukee, WisconsinJackson, MississippiEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

Several used appliance places in the Birmingham area.

I’m based in Birmingham, Alabama and we’ve seen some impact from COVID, but nothing like 20%.

All the usual suspects show up.Indy, Memphis, Texas, Birmingham, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City  etc etc.. then you have the resellers who state they are market agnostic. there is so much information about these companies the product etx.. that one simply does not need hours on the phone explaining it..

I'm sorry but if your talking the suburbs then ok I might be able to get on bread with that, like Royal Oak, or Berkley, Birmingham but anything downtown is really, really risky .

Over time, I acquired five properties in Atlanta, four in Birmingham, and one in Indianapolis but it caught up with me as the real issue here is property management abuses OOS owners.

I soon realized I was stretching myself too thin by trying to expand into another market so soon and returned my focus to Birmingham AL.  

I’m looking in Birmingham at houses that cost $20,000-$40,000.
