Hey Jonathan, I could probably answer any questions you have. I have been working in some form of the Real Estate industry in Montgomery for 30 years.
Greg, Wow! 30 years! I promise you I will definitely be reaching out to you for information. I'm looking into buying multifamily property. Would you say the prospects are good that I'll find some good multifamily properties here?

(Auburn) @Jonathan Acosta-Torres, (Auburn), I agree with @Rob Drum. (Auburn) You need to pick a team (Auburn) to fit in to the (Auburn) culture in (Auburn) Alabama! Whichever you choose (Auburn), is up to you, though. (Auburn)
Welcome to (Auburn) Alabama! I'm originally from Auburn, myself, in case you couldn't tell. (Auburn) I still have 3 (Auburn) properties there. (Auburn)
Good luck with your (Auburn) endeavors, wherever you choose to invest! (Auburn) lol
Were my (Auburn) messages subliminal enough? ;-)
Jody, hahaha very subtle. I'm sure I'll pick one soon, just need a little time. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Welcome to Bama @Jonathan Acosta-Torres. You're definitely in a good area for investing, like the others have said. Feel free to reach out anytime and especially if you end up in the Huntsville area.
Best,
Zac
Zac, Thank you, I appreciate the warm welcome. I'd like to hear your reasoning for why Alabama is great for real estate.

@Jonathan Acosta-Torres Welcome to BP! and Welcome to Alabama! Have you decided Alabama or Auburn yet? You've got to pick one ;)
This is a great state for investing. Good luck to you!
Rob, everyone keeps asking me which one I'm for and I have no idea yet. I need a little time to learn about both and make my choice haha
Why's Alabama good for real estate? (not doubting it is, I just want to hear your reasoning).

Welcome to Alabama, we are slow from Texas and now in Huntsville AL. For appx 15 years. We are investors in Alabama and Nationwide, realtor and own an appraisal firm. What areas are you looking in?
James, I'm brand new here so I am not yet familiar with what places are good to invest in real estate yet. Prattville kind of caught my eye already though.

Hey Jonathan,
Welcome to Alabama! We have a local REI club meeting the third Tues of the month at Exit Realty on Dexter St right downtown. We meet at 6:00 for about an hour and a half. Look forward to meeting you there sometime.
I actually live in Prattville, though I try to make most of the meetings. Good place to network. I found several resources there to use in the first rehab I just finished this week!
Andrew Howell
Andrew, thank you for that information, I'll definitely stop by one of those meetings soon!

Hello everyone,
I'm a recent arrival to the great state of Alabama. I'm coming from Texas and I'm here because of work. I work as an Information Systems Security Officer on Maxwell-Gunter AFB and I would like to learn about the area and connect with local like-minded investors.
I currently only own one house back in Texas, but I'd really like to get into multifamily here.
Please feel free to reach out and let me know if there are local events I can attend to network and learn. Thank you!

I'm in Montgomery, but I'm heading up to Birmingham on Saturday to meet a friend anyways so I can probably swing by.

Hi Jonathan,
Welcome to BP! I do a lot of VA loan education for real estate agents, so if you ever have any questions on VA minimum property requirements or anything like that, I'd be happy to help!
Thanks Samantha, the VA loan is Plan A for me, so I will definitely be getting in contact with you.
