Good, safe rental areas in Birmingham, AL

I am planning to move home to the Birmingham area soon and invest in a few rental properties there. I am looking for some advice on a profitable, safe area that brings good rental income and doesn’t include bullet holes! I would love to hear from you through the forums, and if there are any experienced investors with properties around Birmingham, I would be happy to buy you lunch/coffee to discuss the market there and plan my next move. Thanks! -Heath
