It is a great market but highly recommend partnering with an agent who knows the market and has experience dealing with investors as location is key. 

I have been eyeing a few brokerages around that general location and was wondering if anyone familiar with the area had any recommendations regarding which brokerage to pick, as there are quite a few to choose from.

Where are you located?

Make the land as inviting as possible for the location.

You will find that people are successful in every market you mentioned but depending on your cash position, a successful rental in one location or the other might not be as ideal for you. 

I work with a few investors in the SE Florida area as I am physically located here as well.

Our locations of interest include Augusta, GA, Macon, GA, and Atlanta, GA. 

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $33,500 In May 2024, I purchased this duplex as a house hack opportunity located in the heart of College Station.

Hey @Thanh Lu, so you didn't say where you are located so it is important to check down to the city level what constitutes a tenant vs guest.Most often it is 30 days or more, but there are some that state 28 days or even more vague for squatters rights.

We walked through a property that we went into thinking we were not going to like it and we ended up loving it and jumping on it pretty quickly after because the seller was getting other cash offers and the price/location/set-up of the property just fit our situation well.
