I chose Atlanta because it is the international transportation hub of the south east having the busiest airport in USIt has a diverse economy with many Fortune 500 companies setting up offices therefriends and family that moved down theremet some investors that were from NY that invested down theregood size populationaverage salary is high enough to pay me rent and rent is decent enough for me to make a profitprice it is way cheaper than NYC

Whether that be the case, I don't know, but I'll be diverse in my investments anyway.The good thing about real estate however is that even in a market collapse, people still need to rent.  

It's really a great city, very diverse, safe, family oriented but there are areas that are "bad" and those are the areas which come to mind when you say you want to live in Aurora.So, the areas I would avoid would be right around the Denver/Aurora border.

It is as diverse in geography and culture as the United States.

I am focusing on wholesaling and lease option strategies to start with...and hope to continue to expand my knowledge and experience as I go.Bigger Pockets has come up on numerous google searches for me whenever I had questions, and I found the information here to be quite diverse and extremely helpful.  

(I haven't aggressively looked for "deals" but from what I've seen for the average joe that doesn't plan to spend 10k on postcards, such as myself.)I was looking at job growth/diversity, running numbers, looking at charts, patterns, etc. and thought, heck I should ask people on here.

Biggerpockets is without a doubt one of the best online communities out there, and as my experience in real estate gradually grows, I hope I can give back as much knowledge as it has given me.I've lived in Maryland most of my life, and have always loved the state for its diversity relative to its size.

I wouldn't be doing any active investing, sure there would be diversity in my portfolio, but it would be pretty low risk, low return.

After completing my real estate licensure, I found the field to be very diverse and open as a profession. 

Also, Milwaukee is economically very diverse, from well below poverty line to very wealthy (nearly all of the top end is either in BIG $$$ condos downtown in high rises and 3rd Ward or mansions along lake north of DT on the trendy for decades "east side")If you're yet another person wooed in by the seemingly amazingly low buy in prices and decent sounding rents, which seems to happen every 8 minutes or so on here now, I'd advise to proceed with caution, old stock that's beat to hell and city has been burned by too many slumlords, so even if they think its a 5% chance some out of state buyer could be slumlord in waiting, they'll drop a hammer on you and hard and as I've said 100x, they can write code violations exterior on 98% of the homes, but pick and choose when to do so.
