Intro - Long time investor, looking to expand

[Kobi Gur]

Hi BP friends,

My name is Kobi Gur, and I'm in real estate investing for more than a decade now. Invested mainly in Israel (where I live) and a few years ago, started investing in the US in the DFW area.

Investing now both in rentals and flips and trying to apply what I knew from the previous experience to the ecosystem in the US with the relevant adjustments (you'll be surprised how many similar elements exist :) )
Now expanding in the US to the Augusta, GA with the same mode of operations - finding below market properties, deciding on the best strategy for each one, buying alone or with partners.
A pleasure to be here and learn so much from this great place. I hope to contribute at least as much as I get

@Winn Merwin , I thought we were going to keep Augusta our little secret?  

It's a great market for rentals.  There are quite a few economic engines Winn referred to.  Prices are still fair allowing for relatively easy entry into the market.  

We have a few properties in the area and would like to add at lease one more.  Depending on what your strategy is, you can look in Grovetown for the military folks.  You can be in the downtown area with a lot of cyber growth coming.  Evans is more family friendly with better schools and priced a bit higher.  Lastly, you can look in the areas surrounding the schools/hospitals attracting students/medical professionals.

There are several options depending on what long term strategy you are trying to accoomplish.

Good luck!
