There are a lot of great resources here and around the web for people looking to invest in Birmingham.

@Dave Foster is a great resource on 1031 exchanges. 

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

You know… my experience with those who are “gurus” is that I would rather spend the time, effort and resources I have to learn the subject.

I know this is a big leap, but any advice, criticism, or resources are greatly appreciated.

It's possible to get some motivated sellers through a website with assistance of SEO , website optimization and PPC, but it's not a basket I would put all my eggs into if I was trying to locate the sellers. 

Since my firm is an investor private client boutique, I do not share resources outside of my client base.

Would love to connect and be a resource to you anyway that I can - I'm a realtor, and investor in the area and have some tips & tricks you can implement into your business and see if it helps! 

Do you have any resources on this strategy that you would recommend?

Happy to send over some resources on why Columbus is a great real estate market to invest in.
