Quote from @Steven Catudal: Hi all,My partner and I are looking to buy investment properties in Alabama, specifically Birmingham.

It appears there are still opportunities to buy good properties in decent areas, though I’m sure it’s important to be very specific about locations.

You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State's website for all to see.

I'm glad to see there are possibilities to invest remotely.We are considering a future project in the United States, specifically in Florida, Texas, or California.

In many cases bigger banks or lenders have specific programs that cater to first time home buyers and investors. 

- Usually a 5 unit with a boiler means that all the units share the boiler heating system.Which specific utilities in which units are paid by tenants vs shared?

I’ve never had this specific issue but mistakes like this are pretty common. 

Savvy buyer's agents look at stats like sold price to list price ratio trends and watch specific properties to see what they sold for compared to what they were listed for to really understand the market and make offers accordingly.

If they’re late a third time, you have a strong case for eviction for habitual non-payment—without risking the tenant showing up at the 11th hour with the money.For your specific circumstances, with only a partial month behind, I would guess there is a decent chance they can come even on rent and it would be a waste of your time.

Feel free to reach out for any specific questions!
