Huntsville, AL is growing rapidly! 

I don't know if that will continue or not, but the city is growing rapidly and will outpace Birmingham.  

And buying rapidly shows inexperience.I also have been highly critical of turn-key investments, especially lower income neighborhoods / rust belt cities.  

I went to college in Iowa so I know a very RE agents in the davenport/Cedar Rapids area, but trying to network throughout those states that I mentioned to see if anything is out there.

I own one rental in Bettendorf and now that my kids are out of college I am looking to get more involved in real estate in the Iowa Quad Cities and/or Cedar Rapids area. 

Sooooooo..... here are my plans for 2013......I have been in touch with a newer local rapidly expanding brokerage in my area that pays 100% commission on every deal.

The events are unfolding rapidly, so my thoughts are evolving.  

@Fernan Nava when I posted this, some said it was extreme, but then other states followed and things changed rapidly. 90 days no rent payments and no evictions, smhhhh I would have always worked with my tenants if the virus had affected them, and I did not need the Oregon Gov to mandate the way she did.

However, the median housing cost is still somewhat similar to the average housing cost in 2018, potentially showing the rapid increase of most housing.In conclusion, this roughly shows that its taking more time and years to buy a house than in the past.
