Birmingham's low entry prices attract out-of-state investors who buy 5-10 units quickly. Scaling fast without monitoring means missed payments stack up before you notice them.
Alabama law requires only a 7-day notice for non-payment, but many Birmingham leases include shorter timelines. Catching late rent on day 1 gives you maximum flexibility.
With average rents around $1,000, every missed payment is a significant hit to your annual returns. Automated monitoring ensures you catch issues before they compound.
