Hi @Lynn Angus et al.  

If you find yourself at Ft Gordon, might think about Montgomery & Birmingham, AL and other Mid-Size Alabama towns.

Most recently some have been in AL, TN, OH and WA state. 

But, off the top of my head, TN, AL, SC, FL, OH, IN are some good ones to start looking at.  

(how do the taxes work) - Places I'm considering are Birmingham, AL and Atlanta but I wonder if there are more promising cities where one can but C properties in B neighbourhoods for less than 150k (USD)?

I'm licensed in Alabama. 

I have a rental property in Montgomery AL, MY PM hired a guy to clean the kitchen sink drain using 50" rod through line and charged me $175.

I was general counsel for a regional senior living operator (AL and memory care).

Anyone can recommend a good title company in AL (Birmingham area). 

The point is with a Sub2 you typically will need to bring the loan current (most cases) clean up the property and market for a L/O tenant................averaging around 5k a property that you into for.
