I'm a real estate agent and long term buy/hold investor in Savannah, GA. I was fortunate to meet some phenomenal people in Orlando a few weeks back at BPCON23! I'd love to connect with more like-minded individuals here in the forums.

For those that are also on their REI journey, but didn't have a chance to attend the conference, what is your niche in this market/location?

Hey Ryan, would love to connect. Just started looking into STR/MTR in the Savannah area and would appreciate any advice and tips on areas to look into. Thanks! 

 James, would love to connect as well. My contact info should be in my profile. BP won't allow me to post here.

It should be in my signature on BiggerPockets. I also sent you an email back.

I work for a licensed, master-certified (and NABCEP certified) SunPower and REC installer in DC, MD, and VA. We're also an authorized "home performance"/energy efficiency contractor for our local utilities BGE and PEPCO. Happy to chat if that's who you're looking for.


 Call me. Let's talk about BGE & PEPCO

Any local solar ground mount or alternative renewable energy land developers out there?


 Yessir! However, not in your market unfortunately.

However, I'd be happy to try to put you in touch with an authorized SunPower installer in your area, if you are looking for someone local.

 Looking for early stage site developers. Are you a developer or do you have connections to any? @Kyle Deutschmann

We are building hydrogen fueling stations in CA where the government grants are helping offset the sizable capital costs to develop light and heavy duty stations. It's too early for a general investor/operator but in the future we'll build H2 stations like we current build gas stations. 

There are also natural gas hubs being built to help refuel mid-size and heavy duty fleets of delivery vehicles throughout the country using CNG. It's not clean but it is a little better for the environment. 

Had a few questions for you. You mind if we chat offline @Kristi Kandel

 Josh! I just accepted your connection request. Looking forward to connecting. What areas do you like? I'm looking for my next one in Hinesville.

I live in CA but invest in North Carolina (Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro, Fayetteville). It’s a great out of state market with a ton of strategies at play. Still plenty of pockets that cash flow with nice appreciation potential. NC has been great to me - and I love visiting!


 Hi Tim,

Thanks for that! I will look into North Carolina as well :)  Thanks for also mentioning the cities.

I'm originally from NC, left in 2021, home prices in that market are overinflated in my opinion. One of my rentals is in Wilson, NC. Little country town with I95 running through it.

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have listened to Bigger Pockets for quite some time now and finally decided to get on here because I current own a home in California, but I want to buy a 2nd house out of state. I was thinking Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, or Michigan. If anyone else has suggestions on states they have rental properties and is working well, please let me know. I would like to start buying a rental property in early 2024. I just wanted to get started to choose a state, starting looking at it more and hopefully start to talk to get approved for a loan and start to talk to a real estate agent. 

Thanks,
Miguel Suarez
