Quote from @Wendy Vaidic:
My son asked me for input on buying a home in Hampton, GA, and I don’t know much about the area. Is anyone familiar with this town that can give me feedback on what the rental market is like (he’d like to house hack), area to avoid, rockstar realtors, off-market deals etc..
Thanks so much. I don’t know what I don’t know about this area. Budget will probably top out at $325,000.00 but less is better.
Thanks!

Hello!
I am a rookie real estate investor eager to get into my first deal this year. I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.
I'm most interested in Single-Family or Multi-Family Homes with the intention of having Mid or Long-Term rentals (although I am not opposed to Short-Term either). While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.
I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025. I've specifically learned a lot from Dave and Henry on their podcast, but also appreciate Jesse Vasquez' approach with her mid-term rental investments. I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.
I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida. When I return to the country after my Au Pair contract ends, I hope to live in the property as my primary residence and house-hack as well.
I understand that investing remotely makes things more challenging, but I am also ready to be uncomfortable and challenge myself in this journey as I know it is 100% possible. I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.
I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. Also, I am so grateful for the Bigger Pockets podcasts and tools/resources because a lot of what I've learned or clarified has been from listening to you all.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to learning from or working with you all!
p.s. thank you @ScottTrench for your guidance as well!
Hi @Elisabeth Hansel, welcome to the BP Forum! Sounds like you a have a very well thought out plan. Do you have a price range in mind for the various properties you might acquire? And are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
My price range is between 250 - 350k (less would be better, but if more than I would have to be mindful with the interest or down payment %). I am more so looking for turn-key properties or something with very minimal updating needed. Perhaps down the line I will try and go for a fixer upper, but preferably not at this time to start.
