Quote from @Mike Perry:

Hello BP!! Does anyone have recommendations for realtors, contractors, and property managers in the Montgomery, Alabama market?  I would also welcome warnings about those to stay around from? Thanks in advance!

 I can help you with all 3 of those.

Alabama also has the second lowest property taxes in the nation behind Hawaii.

In a number crunch of 300 cities using 10 metrics ranging from home prices to tax rates to vacancy levels, WalletHub determined that Montgomery, Alabama, was the nation’s most affordable city for homebuyers. Rounding out the top 10 of affordable homeownership cities were Flint, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; Detroit; Akron, Ohio; Warren, Michigan; Pittsburgh; Yuma, Arizona; Springfield, Illinois; and Palm Bay, Florida.

I have helped an investor from New Zealand buy about 100 houses here in Mongomery, Al.  I would be glad to give you her email address.  She may be able to answer a lot of questions for you.

Its hard to find a good flip with any profit in it, but we are doing rather well with the buy and holds.  Most of them need 10-15k renovation.  Yep, same thing here with the security guards in the 80's....lol.

Definetaly some A neighborhoods out east, Deer Creek, Wynlakes, etc.

I have helped lots of investors purchase about 300 houses in Montgomery in the past 4 years.  We are still getting really close to the 1% rule and have seen some great appreciation.

As far as crime goes, I suppose you could argue, there are no A neighborhoods in the United States anywhere.  The survey compiled by https://ocindex.net/rankings ranked all nations and The US was the 129th safest place to live.  But, who wants to move to Iceland?(#1 safest)

I agree with your classifications.  Looks like you are 95% on target.

Not all of 36117 is A, the older areas will be B.

36104 is all over the place from A to D.

Capitol Heights has some solid B streets.

36110 has some nice C, almost B areas, but also some D.
