Airbus moved into Mobile,Alabama a couple years ago which brought more businesses, jobs, and people to the South Bay Area including Daphne, Fairhope, and Foley.

I am new to this as well but I am starting to narrow down my interests to mobile home parks and small multifamily, both are great investment vehicles offering better returns than single family.
