Moving to North Georgia

[Robert Kirkley]

Hey everyone,

I have just accepted a job offer that will require me to relocate to North Georgia near Lake Lanier.  I have a place to stay for the short term, but I will need to look for places to live/house hack soon after I get up there.  I have been looking into local markets, and it seems that Gainesville, GA is a decent market.  I would love for any advice from anyone who invests in the area about the market and what to look for.  I may have to rent for a while to get a better feel for the area, but my goal is to house hack a residential property and rent out the other rooms or units.  Is anyone using this strategy in that market?  Is there anything I should look out for?  Does anyone know of any good agents who work with investors?  I am sure I will have many more questions, but I am just trying to figure out the area a little more.  I appreciate any and all advice/information!
