It can be difficult to get a decent rate of return in the current Florida market, and more and more investors are looking outside Florida to find deals in other states. Today we talk with Lindsay Davis, CEO of Spartan Invest", about investment opportunities in Alabama. Lindsay's investment services allow investors who live outside Alabama to purchase single family homes in Alabama, get the benefit of the low property taxes, and get a great overall rate of return on their investment. We also discuss the dramatic rise in construction costs over the last year, how it is affecting the building of new homes, and when this might stabilize and return to "normal".
