Why This Provider?
BLS data shows that more than 31% of Huntsville residents rent, but there’s more to long-term investment success than a growing tenant base. By choosing eminently livable properties and neighborhoods this provider maximizes its clients’ chances of seeing real appreciation, and eventually selling to an owner-occupant—not just another flipper or investor.
This provider has an experienced team and a purpose-built process for successful rehab projects. Renovations are undertaken with great care, top-to-bottom rehabs create comfortable living spaces. The provider’s mission goes beyond the aesthetic—their proprietary inspection criteria ensures that the “bones” of the home (wiring, piping, HVAC systems, and other key components) are in great shape.

Market
Market Profile:
Alabama’s new most populous city, recently overtaking Birmingham in population, Huntsville is known as the “Rocket City” as it has become an established aerospace technology and manufacturing hub. It houses several space organizations including NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. The downtown area is also thriving and being developed to the tune of $1 billion in capital investments.
But Huntsville is so much more than an aerospace giant. It’s got a dynamic, thriving downtown which is just a quick drive to sunny suburbs outside of the city which are perfect for raising a family. Everything that makes Huntsville a great place to live also makes it a fantastic place to invest.
