Thanks

Hi Brett,
I’d be happy to help with any properties you’re interested in around the Rome, GA area. I am a local real estate agent in Rome and know the area very well. Let me know if you have any questions with the investment market here, I am here to help! 


Hi Layla.
I will definitely keep that in mind. I am currently traveling but returning to GA in a couple of weeks. 

Ty!

This will help you greatly. Very detailed guide on choosing a market. 


 Ty Julian. That looks very helpful. Can't wait to dive in. Much appreciated.

Thanks

Quote from @Allison Dorman:

I am in your same boat, Brett-- gathering resources and narrowing down my market and deal criteria so I do not drive myself crazy going in too many directions.    I do think it helps to know what strategy you plan to use and what your end goal is.  Then reverse engineer the market and type of property based on what your goals are and what makes a good deal in that platform.

I am also in Atlanta if you want to brainstorm! I am looking for a good meet up group locally.


 Ty Allison. 

 I'm currently looking in the areas just outside of metro ATL. I used to buy primarily in Gwinnett, Forsyth. Then I moved away. I recently returned "home" but not targeting those exact same areas right now.

For me personally, I choose to invest in places that I know are growing. The way I know this is by looking at the population increase which is available on Google.

I also look at the map to see how many highway roads lead to that city. That is a large indicator of how busy the area is.

I also need to be able to drive there within four hours.



 Thanks for the advice, Julian. Will definitely keep that in mind.  

Quote from @Eliott Elias:

Invest where you live. No point in finding the best market on paper and investing remotely. Too much opportunity out there to be investing out of state. 

Hi Eliott.

Thanks for the reply.

I should have better explained.  So I live in the Southeast and am looking in that area...specifically Georgia. I'm really just trying to better evaluate regions within the SE for pop growth, economic growth, etc. so I can better narrow down my search.  

Hi Nathan.
Thanks and yes I had just watched Dave's video.
I should have maybe better explained... So i live in the Southeast and am looking in that general area. I am really more interested in evaluating regions within the SE for pop growth, economic growth, etc. so I can narrow down my search a little more.  

Hi. Newbie here. Looking for advice on what sources to use when analyzing an area/region for investment purposes. Primarily interested in population and job growth statistics. Tyvm
