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

And due diligence is key with good tips from @Mike G.

At tip to help achieve this: You will at somepoint, if you haven't already, be directed to propstream or propwire or the like to find motivated sellers.

Investors like me are left sifting through overpriced junk instead of finding real opportunities.Pro Tip: The average wholesale contract is for a 30 day "inspection", while the wholesaler looks for a buyer.

You've definitely come to the right place to find resources and connections.Here, you'll find several knowledgeable and experienced agents who can help guide you in securing the right property.

Most people bring their own.We also have a bin of razors, q-tips, cotton balls and even a bunch of contact lens cases in the master bath.

* Finally, could you recommend any valuable tools or learning resources?

Supplement this far simpler entity approach by ensuring you have appropriate types and levels of insurance, you operate your business in a manner in which your conduct is not considered an exclusion in your policy, you work with licensed and insured vendors, you execute contracts with indemnification clauses with these same vendors/ require additional insured status &  maintain appropriate licensing and permits.

Time is a valuable resource and "spending" it everywhere at once isn't worth the effort.

Does anyone have or know any resources for analyzing car washes?
