Starting Out and Wanting to Connect with Investors in North GA

[Layla Garrett]

Hello everyone! I live in the North Georgia area, and have finished my first year as a licensed real estate agent after 16 closings! 😀 I found my niche working with investors outside of Atlanta (Rome GA, Cartersville, Calhoun, etc), and absolutely love it. There's something about seeing a distressed piece of property and knowing that it has the potential to be something so much more. While I do not yet personally have any investment properties myself, I have become friends with many landlords in my area who are constantly buying and selling. Many of my current clients are older and considering getting out of the rental game and selling. I am new to the Bigger Pockets website and would love to connect with other investors and agents near the North West, GA area. I'd like to hear what type of properties investors from Atlanta are willing to purchase, even if the property is an hour away? Is there a specific buy box that an investor would need to have to purchase a property 50 miles away from their location? I appreciate any advice on how to attract more clients who are looking for investment properties. Thank you !!
