What's up Miguel! I have the most success in Irondale, South Avondale, Gardendale and Adamsville. Center point is a little hit or miss but it can be good too. 

@Evan McCuen check some of this out

I will echo Bastian's thoughts on Huntsville. You will have to do your own marketing most likely to get anywhere close to 65%-70% all in. Lot's of people right now will pay 80%-85% all in and still be happy with the acquisition. I see deals in that percentage and numbers range but if I sell them it's always closer to the numbers above, otherwise it makes more sense to keep them. Those numbers might be feasible in Montgomery but you need to be very careful when selecting your team down there. 

@Brian Tunnell I definitely felt limited with indeed so this is very helpful. I’m going to check this out. I feel like just using indeed is the equivalent of only doing direct mail or something. Need multiple marketing channels to get deals, probably true with hiring as well!

@Spencer Sutton this is awesome, I will look into it! Thank you!

It occurred to me that I have no idea how to find good people to hire and I figured I'd hop on here and see who has advice! I am a real estate entrepreneur that's been investing since 2015, but until 2018 I wasn't concerned with hiring anyone to take over my job in the company which is essentially a disposition manager. We are in the relatively small market of Huntsville, Alabama, so I'm worried there aren't a ton of people who would both have the skills and also be willing to take this type of position. There are a lot of good jobs in this area being the tech and government hub that it is here. While we work in Birmingham too, I really want someone that is local and can come to the office so we can continue to build a culture. The approach we've taken so far to attempt hiring is using indeed to post the job. When a candidate applies, it then sends them to an assessment to see how proficient they are in certain skills. If they do both the app and the assessment, we reach out and ask for a 1 minute video of what they can bring to the company and why they'd like ti work with us. Only like 5 people out of probably 250+ apps have done these three steps. Of those, we only got 2 to come in for an interview. Because I'm new to this, I feel like I should get one feedback and see what other successful real estate business owners have done to get good talent in their company. I'll add that this is a wholesaling business specifically, if that matters. Thanks for any and all feedback and advice!

Congrats on the close!
