Re: Any Brits in Alabama
Thanks Mike for your thoughts, just wish I could get some answers about the area we are looking to purchase in, at least you answered & with so many more words than Steve.
Keep well Mike, hope to meet you one day.

You can ask about the area you are interested in in the main US forums (as directed to earlier - the meet up threads aren't the place for lifestyle type questions really), but I'd definitely look at your visa options first in case you have no way of moving anyway.
Best of luck.

Re: Any Brits in Alabama
Thanks for your input, the first thing is this, I have not made any decision to live in the Us permanently, the reason for purchasing a business is to make a profit & not to give me any rights to permanently live there. We can,I believe, purchase as many properties as we would like, even with the intention of renting them at a later date. We were looking for people's help regarding the area where we were thinking of buying a property, any other positive information would be more than welcome.
As we were new to this site we did not understand at first where to write for any information but we were sure that someone with tremendous knowledge would soon let us know if we had done anything wrong & surprise suprise we were correct about that part. I will in time write on another forum but I will keep the questions simple & only ask one at a time, perhaps when I am next in the US we can meet up and discuss your abundant horse before the cart knowledge.

Cockney Joe as this forum is for meet-ups...I have moved your posts and responses out of this thread. I have merged them with the thread you opened in the US forum here...

Hi Martin, know what you mean about missing both places. I am currently in the UK (London area) and really looking forward to returning to Alabama.
