Decatur Al - Good, Bad and the Ugly!

Hello my fellow Huntsville investors!

Starting this post after getting outbid on multiple properties in Huntsville over the last 3-4 months. I completely understand why someone is ok paying over asking given the low interest rates and some of the growth metrics for huntsville.

I wanted get some input from other investors about Decatur AL. There have been few forum discussions in the past but nothing in the recent months and I thought may be its a good time to have one.

The good thing is that it is closer to Huntsville and people are expecting some of the crazy growth in Huntsville will flow into Decatur and I have few investor friends who are actively doing flips there and say that the numbers make more sense there. But the population and other numbers are fairly flat for the last 5 years so I am not sure if it is really having a positive impact.

Would love to know what other investors think about decatur? Go or No Go?

Regards,

Gorden
