Well said, @Faruk Al-Hassan.

Hi, I'm an investor and I own several properties in Colorado and Alabama.

Hello Asher,I live in Louisville, KY and invest in Louisville, Indiana and AL, my husband and I have been doing this for 6 years approx.  

Hi Nancy, I'm a Realtor in Southern California but I own SFR's in Huntsville / Madison County so I'm happy to help a fellow Alabama Investor. .

I recommend double checking the 18% PM rate to determine if that is the market rate or the lowest cost rate.We used to have property (duplex) on the sand of Gulf Shores, Alabama.  

@Al Banfe Whether additions/enclosures were permitted or not is a due diligence/inspection issue.

Tenants in Chicago generate a lot more court sympathy than tenants in Alabama, even though most of the states' Landlord-Tenant laws aren't very different (since most states just copy what someone else has done and tweak it here and there).

The states that are the most prone to natural disasters are California, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington, Florida, New York, New Mexico, Alabama, Colorado, Oregon, and Louisiana.

Al back and forth emails/calls - according to the Maintenance Company, a former employee approved the work order and sent it to a third party vendor - no details on how.

I see this a lot in Alabama: We call it Heir property, pronounced "Air property" for a reason.
