As @Joshua McMillion alluded to, I think this is a great topic for further discussion, especially for those who are OOS and not really familiar with North Alabama.First off, I myself have had success with this type of investment model previously - we bought a new construction home in a subdivision roughly 8 minutes from downtown Huntsville in 2019, as it was a new small subdivision attached to an existing established community.
