Multi family properties in Mobile and Birmingham

Hello all, my wife and I are moving to Alabama in 8 months and I’m looking to get my foot in the door with the Alabama real estate community and hopefully begin forming relationships and getting in contact with local professionals as soon as possible. I’m really interested in the Mobile area, as that is where we are moving to, and I’ve started to look into Birmingham as well.  I’m looking for a rental property, preferably multi family, to hold and rent. 

If anyone has any advice, points of contact for wholesalers or real estate agents, or just wouldn’t mind letting me know about your experience in the area I would appreciate it!
