Little Rock, AR or Augusta, GA??

[Margaret Bickerton]

I'm looking to invest in SFH/small mulitfamily within the $250000 range. They both seem like great markets. I'm having trouble deciding on which one to go with. Can you provide me with some information about the areas? I also want to connect with realtors in the area who work with out-of-state investors. TIA

Margaret, 

Both look like good markets - here's how I do it. 

Compare Population Growth, Job Growth, Income Growth, Rent Growth, Crime, Appreciation, Development, and available On & Off-Market deals. 

For example in Little Rock, AR...

In the zipcode 72205, income has grown almost 24% (I look for 10% minimum) and there are a few off-market, single family houses between $200K and $300K that are also absentee owner owned and high equity. 

This is a great way to cut through having to call a bunch of agents and get the answers you want immediately and without bias. Just my 2 cents and happy to help.
