Great areas to start a real estate investing career in?

[Dillon Hamman]

Hello all,

I'm working on starting my real estate investing career but everything is too expensive. I realize we're in a hot market right now but I live in South Florida so everything is expensive in general. I've looked for foreclosures, off-market properties, etc. The only types of properties that are affordable for beginners down here are in bad areas and even those are top dollar. The point of this post is to call out to those who live in Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas. I have been debating moving to one of these states in the next couple of months and wanted to see if anyone had recommendations of good markets to start in in any of these states. Thank you!
