How this works in Alabama
Investment property in Alabama: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
If you're behind on payments, you have less runway than most states — Alabama lenders can foreclose in 30–45 days without going to court. The upside: when you sell to us, we can close in as little as 7 days and pay off your lender before they file.
Alabama is a non judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
Alabama closings are handled by a closing attorney. You'll choose and engage your own — we're a marketing platform, not part of your closing.
Local demand
Cash buyers are most active in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile, so offers in those markets tend to be the most competitive. Rural Alabama sees fewer competing bids — exactly why a matched-buyer marketplace helps you net more.

Glossary
Key terms for investment property in Athens.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Athens property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
