Why Do You Invest in Georgia & Atlanta? (Testimonial Request!)

[Lauren Hogan]

BiggerPockets! I'm working on building a landing page for Georgia and the city of Atlanta. Would anyone be willing to share why you choose to invest in the state and/or the city? What makes your state and the city of Atlanta so wonderful for investors?

Smyrna Property purchased in 2014 at 315K, 4b3.5b. Was my primary home. rented out early 2019 for 2600 per month. I've put down 50% so monthly cash flow around $600.

Woodstock Property purchased in 2017 at 150K, 3b2b as investment. Put in 6K to make it look nice(new paint, new floor). Current rent at $1435. I also put down around 50% so monthly cash flow around $835.

Powder Springs Property purchased in 2018 at 150K, 3b2b as investment, but I felt in love with the big flat yard and country living so we downsized and move here. Put down 25%. 

Powder Springs Property 2 purchased in 2019 at 160K, 3b2b as investment. Put down 20%. Did nothing. Turn key property with beautiful new floor and paint. Current rent at $1350.  Monthly cash flow around $400. 

PS: Closed another house this month for a client of mine right by my first Woodstock house. (on the same block.) Similar size but without a garage. It's $182K now. So $32K increase in price in 3 years. I think it's pretty steady!
