Chattanooga vs. Manchester, TN:
Hello everyone!
I'm considering investments in Chattanooga and Manchester, TN. Both options have similar price, cash flow, and ROI.
I'm wondering which market is stronger and would be a better long term investment in term of appreciation potential and vacancy rates.
Thanks!
Ari.

Hi Arie! I would agree with the other posters. Chattanooga is a growing city and desirable place to live and rent. It is also not too far from Atlanta, a huge airport hub. I have several investor clients who are investing in Chattanooga and have had a lot of success! Manchester is also a great town, and if the numbers work then the numbers work. That has just been my experience! Good luck!
