I bought my first two SFR’s in Mobile 100% remote while living in Austin, TX. I’ve since moved to Mobile to house hack a duplex for my third property in Mobile. I am currently living in half of that duplex in West Mobile with my fiancé and I finally made the jump to full time real estate investor. 

I am always happy to discuss investing in Mobile!

 How's it going for you guys in the Mobile market. We live about an hour and a half away in Milton, Florida. Our housing over here on the other side of the line has gotten crazy. Thinking about investing over in Mobile. Would love to chat with either of you.

A guy at my work who I talk to every time I see him got started in the Mobile market about 3 years ago doing fix and flips, some STR and some LTR and he has done 12 deals so far and seems to be doing well for himself.

I have recently purchased a property in Mobile county that is doing great! I like this and Surrounding markets within 60 miles of the coast. Most of my experience is in Tuscaloosa, AL so if anyone is interested in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham market I am happy to give my insight. Roll Tide!

 Connor,

I am looking to invest in Mobile (my wife went to University of Alabama and she liked visiting), however we live in California. Would love to connect and hear about your experience as an out of state investor in Mobile and how your journey is progressing.

@MIlton Monzon @Rachel Murphy @Garrett Nuzzo
I apologize for such a delayed response.
Mobile has treated me very well over the last few years.
I have been using Revitalize Realty for property management and I cannot speak higher of them. They are professional, they are effective, the communicate well. I have nothing but the highest regard for https://www.revitalizerealty.com/

@Andrew Della Pelle if you're not 100% committed to Mobile...

You might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider:

https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/99854-deep-dive-into-metro-detroit-cities-ecorse

Our analysis is a template you can follow for any city, but doubt you'll find this much info for any other market in the US.

So, why would you invest remotely anywhere else?

How can we assist you further?

 Hello Nathan. MY name Tory. I am touching bases because I am currently investing in mobile Al. But would like to know more about Tuscaloosa and Birmingham area if you interested in sharing your experience in those area. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
