I am looking forward to connecting with people in the area and sharing wisdom along the way!

A couple of years ago, I worked with an investor who never updated the contact information for the loan and the Bank call the seller (ex-wife), that day she was mad at her ex-husband and told the bank her ex allowed someone to steal their property from them and they got no money, she was kicked out of her house and there were strange people living there.This could all have been avoided if the investor did this process correct.Get educated, also I do not know your attorney but not many attorneys have the knowledge to do this process correctly. 

@Michael Daniel Probably better to post your numbers here and perhaps people can run them on their end and give you suggestions.

I'd love to share insight of the Birmingham market and see where most people are investing in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. 

People will always vacation.  

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

In these markets, I would be worried about crime, activity of illegal immigrants, and such. 

It makes lead management way more efficient since they get to focus on people who actually want to do business. 

Welcome Alana, you will find a lot of helpful people on this platform.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: There are probably more experienced people on this type strategy who will hopefully chime in.
