I am actively involved in 6 deals currently in Montgomery and know the market well because I went to law school there. I now live in Houston, Texas though. Let's all set up a time to connect about this market.

This thread seems a little stale, but I'm active in Montgomery if anyone would like to network. It's my hometown and I have a lot of connections and know the areas well.
I am actively buying 10-15 homes per month in Montgomery, AL. We have great resources for property management, construction. We've done a lot of research on this market and are glad to connect. Send me a connection request and let me know how I can help?

@Eliot M. - i've found an off-market deal through work that I am looking at purchasing. What kind of cap rates can you expect around Montgomery? this one is around 18% on a SFR, and is in GREAT shape. I'm across the country, and this would be my first out of state deal, so I'm trying to get as much info as possible.
Has good luck with property managers? Place is for sale for around $30K and rents for $650.

@Darwin Crawford Congrats on your find. The 18% cap rate would be pretty good for Montgomery, depending on the area. If you can reply back to this thread with the neighborhood or area, I can give you a better idea of what type of deal/cap rate you're looking at. Or if you're more comfortable PM'ing me, that's fine too. My experience is about a 12% cap rate, >25% ROI. But those deals have all been on the MLS so far, so an off-market 18% sounds about right.
I have used Aronov as property managers in the past with modest success, however I can manage from ATL better than they can locally. But you being WAY out there you don't have that luxury.
I'm working on my own off-market deal in Mtgy. Best of luck to you. Keep in touch with progress.

Do you guys think East of Montgomery is class B area which is good for buy and hold cash flow property? If not, what area in Montgomery is class B area with at least 10% cap rate? Also want to know how is the vacancy there? One thing I am afraid of no matter how good the cap rate is, if it can't be rented then is useless.

@Nick West DM me... I do a lot in Montgomery and have some great teams there including an awesome PM. I just closed on another property for myself there, and my PM already found me a great tenant.
It is very inspiring to heard of so many successes in property investing in biggerpocket. As an out of state investor...after many months of reading and research. I finally found a four-plex around South hull area , intersection E edgemont Ave and wilmington road.
Before, i pull the trigger, would like to seek opinions from senior investor if the area is a good neighborhood ? Would it be difficult to find tenants?
Separately, do you all have any good property manager for recommedation in montgomery?

So I'll bring this back to life, we invest in value add multifamily. I'll be in Montgomery through the rest of the month. Any local meetups occurring this month?

@Lily Eric Broberg I own a few single family rentals and a retail strip center in Montgomery and they are both doing okay during Covid. All of my single family rentals have continued to pay on time which is great. The 6-unit retail strip center has been a little more challenging as one of our tenants went out of business and one has only been able to make partial payments over the last 2 months. Overall though things are still doing well here I expect them to continue that way. The Montgomery economy is not very tourism or hospitality focused so employment has stayed strong.
