Also if you're in Zillow, another strategy you can try is to click the rent feature and click on properties for rent in the areas you're interested in and look at number of views + applications.

I see many town home new builds have this feature but likely because it allows higher density/lower cost of land since many lack yard area but the rooftop allows an outdoor feature. 

Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, etc.) feature similarly affordable properties that command good cash flow.Alabama also has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country (about 0.4% of property value).

Agreed, wanted something to get started on (not to mention that so many websites rate these background check portal and by the time I test them, they fizzle in features/functionality.

Additionally, I modernized the interior and upgraded key features, ensuring the property not only looked better but also met the needs of tenants.

Otherwise the background check features, having a pre-set but editable application, direct deposit, rent reminders to my tenants, and automatically adds late payment fees (should that be needed). 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

It’s difficult to find contractors that understand that it’s a rental, I’m not looking for top of the line features.
