Real estate investing in Birmingham Alabama

Real estate investing in Birmingham Alabama

Member since 2021 · 22 posts · 4 votes

Hello Guys,

I'm looking for someone to collaborate on my journey as a real estate investor.

Already done few deals in Western Asia, and now looking forward to start in the U.S.A as well.

Specifically looking to what are the 2 top neighborhoods you like to work in Birmingham, AL? and 2 bottom neighborhoods for rental?

Also will be glad to get some recommended real estate agents contacts I can work with from this area.

Really appreciate your help in providing relevant FB groups where I can find such business partners, or if someone from this group is interested please feel free to contact me.

I'm new in BiggerPocket, so please let me know in case there is more accurate forum for this post :-)

Many thanks in advance,

Eli

My 2 favorite areas for rentals are Pinson and Hueytown. I stay away from city of Birmingham (except for parts of 35215 and 35214)

Check out @Rob Drum he’s a great agent for out of state investors! He has a great network and has a lot of good info on his YouTube.

Reach out anytime if you want to chat

    Stay away from Birmingham schools.

    Jefferson county schools are ok.

    Better appreciation and lower taxes and lower insurance in Shelby county and St Clair county. Good luck.

      Hi Eli, 

      The Birmingham Alabama Real Estate Investors group on FB has good info about local off market deals and vendors. I personally like East Lake and Woodlawn for investments. There are many others; Clay, Pinson, Ensley, Bessemer, Adamsville and more. But it really depends on your goals and strategy. There are a lot of good areas and a few pitfalls to avoid. I've heard that Center Point is hard to deal with as a city (permits etc) but that the new mayor is trying to make it easier for landlords to do the right thing. PM me if you have any specific questions.

      I started with turnkey remote rentals in 2009-2015 while working my engineering W2 job. My first few rentals remote (started in Seattle where I lived) was BHam. Just make sure you cashflow at 1% RV or higher on properties that rent more than 850 a month. Stay aways from Endsley.
