Investing in Columbus, GA

[Joseph S.]

Columbus, GA is the area my wife and I have decided to start our real estate journey. Is there anyone who is investing in the state of Georgia? Specifically Columbus? Is there anyone who invests in military towns and commonly has military tenants? I am trying to learn what military personnel find to be the most attractive qualities in rental homes (school district, rental cost, does BAH truly drive their decision)? 

We are looking to buy almost turnkey rentals; however, we are struggling with neighborhoods to by in. Has anyone invested in this city and if so what metrics are you using to determine which neighborhoods to invest in (ie areas 1-6, North Columbus vs East Columbus). Also, has anyone been able to get an area map that maps out the neighborhoods in Columbus, GA? I am interested in acquiring that information after reading the book "HOLD: How to Find, Buy, and Rent Houses for Wealth".
