If you compare the two properties (the one in Texas with the one in Alabama), the cost to rent ratio is huge, At first glace you can tell that from a cash flow perspective, the Birmingham property is a sure bet, however there are many other factors that would show that in the long run, the Texas property may turn to be a better long term investment ( Age, neighbourhood, type of renters, potential appreciation, saleability, etc).Many times where you have two different properties in two different states that rent for a similar amount, you are still comparing apples to oranges for the reasons mentioned above

If there is a problem, they are you best bet in giving guidance on what needs to be correct and what permits and fines might be required.

But are you willing to bet everything you own on it?

I dont know what you do for a living, but im willing to bet you dont do it for free.

Blind faith that things will just work out is not a good thing to bet on.Work hard. 

I bet she's your life.

Also, depending on how long you've had the property selling might not be the best bet.

Your best bet is probably single-family homes if you can get one at the right price, Huntsville is turning more into a seller market in my opinion.

The Miersema brothers on BP....bet you don't remember me!
