If you’re looking to own a vacation rental property in Alabama, you’re in luck. A recent study found that several cities in the state are among the best to set up shop.

LawnStarter, a website dedicated to finding local professionals to do lawn work, determined a series of metrics relating to owning vacation rentals. Among those were revenue potential, operating expenses and guest safety. The website then assigned a weight to each factor and calculated each score to determine its rank.

The website found that Birmingham was the second best place in the country to own a vacation rental. Birmingham’s occupancy rate in past 12 months was 45%. People that already own rental homes in the area earned an average revenue of $20,761 in the past 12 months.
