Questions for Birmingham Alabama investors

[Steve Bale]

I am considering picking up two properties in Birmingham Alabama, 35221 area. How fast/slow are you seeing things rent in the C and D neighborhoods? Does anyone have an approx. vacancy rate for their rental properties in 35221 or surrounding areas? 

I have feedback from realtors and property managers in the area but I would like another investors input - ideally, someone who is familiar with the area.

Any and all input is always greatly appreciated.
