I am looking for land in Alabama to call home again.

Memphis, Indy, Alabama, Atlanta, Carolinas, Kc

And for the well-wishes, @Al Wilson.

Q2: Al Lowry.

Bravo @Andre Vaughn et al.

@Eric Tait is right that if there is any softening at all, it will likely be felt first in commercial office space, as that's what was hit hardest during the Enron, et al. busts in the early aughts, although that was arguably about mismanagement unrelated to energy prices.Keep in mind that the major energy companies are ridiculously profitable at any oil price.

I'm not sure about your area of Alabama, but in my area of Tennessee, you can also use public records.  

@Al @Alvin Neal undefinedI am looking  forward to working with a realtor and a property management company there when i go.  

Since he is in MD, my guess is the AC is going to be treated more like it is in PA rather than how it would be in FL or AL.
