New investor husband and wife team in Valdosta/South GA area.

New to the investing arena. Living in south GA seems like a tough market and have looked into the Warner Robins area, plus a little in Florida.

I (Daniel) have listened to almost every single podcast in the past few months. I'm interested in learning about wholesale deals, flips, and buy/hold deals.

I currently drive a tractor trailer and hate every minute of my 60 hour work week. I was working with title companies to complete refinance paperwork for customers prior to this. When the economy declined so did my work load.

Now ready to make a change and become self employed again.

Nice to meet you Daniel. It does seem to me like the Deep South is a difficult environment but I'm sure there's a method. If you're buying next to military installations consider buying properties that will fit the soldier/sailor/airman's BAH rate.  You can find the numbers on a quick google search. As a Soldier, I always take my BAH rate and subtract $200, then I go look for places to rent that fit that price range.  

Happy hunting! Hope you can get off the road a bit. 60 hours driving is no bueno.
