In general, Georgia has a diverse economy and increasing population.

When investing remote, I like to first look at the job market - Is it strong, diverse and low unemployment?

Florida has a very diverse variety in communities throughout the state.

I would also like to raise my children in a city that has is more diverse and provides more opportunity than I could find in Utah. 

What markets do you know, what are their unemployment rates, what is the diversity and strength of their job market, what are the price swings, what is the crime like in the various neighborhoods. 

But, with a rising population and job growth (with industry diversity), there is a lot of opportunity for cashflow and appreciation through value-add projects.Good luck, and if you have any questions, you certainly have plenty of people to assist!

It's pretty common to "pop the top" in Denver: tear down the house and add a second or third floor where zoning allows.Appreciation is a much more common strategy in Denver: Colorado has a diverse economy that is resilient in the face of economic downturn and continues to draw newcomers attracted to the great quality of living!

A growing population, a diverse economy, low unemployment rates, a robust and respected legal system, and ultimately reliable data with which you can base your investment decisions. 

Trillions of dollars later and legal immigrants to this country note that we have the most diverse yet richest "poor" people in the world.

What I'm saying is I think Austin is a diverse enough economy with lots of demand to live here from tech, university, government, medical and manufacturing industries to name a few.
