I am in the middle of my second investment property and using the same agent as I did on the first deal.

@Stephen Mattison I built my own modular house in Alexandria, VA and know all the companies on the east coast.

Out east though, I have no idea how much you should be paying.

I would look in East Lake zip 35206  and Ensley  zip 35208  Good luck 

I am actually in the middle of a renovation now that I plan to use this strategy on.

My family of four and I just sold our house and bought a house hack that I am in the middle of remodeling.

Many areas around the I-20 coridor are looking interesting, south of I-20 as well, the following neighborhoods are areas I have been looking at as well Ryan Place, South Hemphill Heights, the east part of Berkley Place. 

If I'm your neighbor I probably say no especially if you aren't offering anything.To add on to this caution, I had a coworker with a weird situation to his personal home where the driveway had the property line going down the middle of it.
