Seeking Advice Birmingham AL

[Allen Zhu]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to dive into real estate investing and would love some advice. Currently, I own a restaurant in Florida that's generating a decent income. My next goal is to implement the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method, specifically in Birmingham, AL, and focus on Section 8 properties.

With relatively good rehabs, I’m not looking to be a "slumlord"—I want to provide quality housing for tenants while also ensuring my investment is successful.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Section 8 tenants, but I’m eager to learn more. Any insights or tips you can share about the Section 8 process, the Birmingham market, or challenges to expect? I want to make sure I’m as prepared as possible before diving in.

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences you can share!
