173: Real Estate Investing In A Thriving Market

#173: Don't move to a low-tax state; let your tenant do it. Quit investing only for the long-term. I explain both. Alabama is the #1 state for per capita foreign direct investment. We discuss turnkey real estate investing in Birmingham, Alabama. A revival is taking place in Birmingham amidst economically diverse business sectors.

We also discuss how a real estate investor gets started: lender pre-approval, writing an offer, inspection, appraisal, etc. Learn more and find Birmingham property at GetRichEducation.com/Birmingham.
