Alabama is a quietly strong DSCR market. Median home prices below $250K plus rents that scale to ~1% of value give Huntsville, Birmingham, and Mobile reliable 1.3+ DSCR coverage. Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park anchor a tech/defense workforce that keeps LTR demand tight. Birmingham's Southside and Avondale submarkets see the deepest deal flow.
