New Investor from Evans, GA / Augusta, GA
Hello BiggerPockets! My name is Bobby and I am a new member from Evans, GA. I have been doing my research and looking to invest in Rental Properties in the Evans, Grovetown area primarily, but also looking into areas near Augusta colleges and medical communities. I work out at Fort Gordon, and am looking to take advantage of the expected growth in the area. I am hoping to get my first property under my belt during the summer months. I am originally from Fresno / Clovis California, where my dad had rental properties while I was growing up. I was never really interested, but now, seeing him retire and live off his Rents, I am looking to work towards the same someday.
I actual just found a property that I am thinking about making an offer on and working on getting financing. I called Quicken Loans, but they said they could only approve me for a loan with 25% down (too much for me right now) because the loan amount was so small (90k). I am going to call a local company tomorrow and see if I can get a option with less cash up front. Anyone have any experience with Augusta Mortgage? My realtor recommended them?
Anyway, I look forward to learning a lot from the group and hope to meet some people in the local community going forward.

Hey @Bobby Norris. Welcome to BP! I do believe you need a great money-person (money-dude?) on your team. You're getting questionable info from some rather uninspired sources.
I'm very happy with my money-guy, and he's licensed in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. I'm not going to blast his name here publicly, but if you'd like a warm intro, connect with me here on BP and I'll gladly share!
