But, not to sound like a total Homer, you should look into Columbus, Birmingham, Shreveport and although not a fan, Jackson, MS.

@Jay Hinrichs knows someone that got in trouble in MS.

in Non disclosure states your tax records will show purchase price 10 bucks.. this is how they work in Mississippi.. so if its off market there is no way to know what someone paid for it.. the assessor assess it by local values for tax purposes.In CA in the good ole days it was common for developers to pay more stamp duty.. as you could back into sales price by figuring out the transfer tax as it was based on a % of the sales price.. so developers would pay more on purpose to give the illusion they paid more than they really did..  

We're still seeing crappy wage growth and I don't see Ms.

I use MS Office daily for my W-2 job so that's what I'm comfortable with. 

Does anyone have any great resources for REIA groups in Mississippi and Georgia? 

Hello Mississippi real estate community,I live in California but but have purchased a few SFR rental properties in the northern part of Mississippi. 

Would be happy to share the two (one is MS Word, one is Excel), or what I developed from them (MS Word).  

If you prefer the south, you can definitely make a strong argument for AL, MS, LA.

She is back and forth between Mississippi and she is getting tired of all of the costs of both homes so it's possible we have a semi-motivated seller.If anyone has any experience estimating rehab costs your help would be greatly appreciated!
