Columbus GA Apartment Buildings

[Taylor Shapiro]

Does anyone currently invest in Columbus GA? I was sent the financials on a 30+ unit apartment community which appears to have some good upside apart from cashflowing if purchased as-is. All units are 2/2, 1000 sqft and rent for an average of $675. I'm seeing anywhere between $725-$750 for a 2/1, 1000 sqft in the surrounding area. 

Can anyone share some thoughts on the area? I know Fort Benning is a staple in the area along with a handful of larger companies including AFLAC. Is this an area worth looking into?
