Question for my East Atlanta (OTP) investors (Rockdale/Newton/Dekalb)

[Jay Dewberry]

Just had a quick question for you guys/gals on the hot spots for Fix n Flips. 

I am out here in Newton County and I see many houses going up for sale here.  The stats/trends seem to reflect a growth in movement here.  However, I'm finding that many of these homes are being purchased by Corporations with professional Registration Companies, which turn out to be from outside of the state and/or country. 

My question is, are these buy and sell statistics driving up the illusion of people moving to these counties? Or are these counties becoming hot-spots as the prices slowly increase? I'm thinking is could be both out here in Newton. But perhaps an agent/investor/rehabber has better insight.

Thanks.
