I don't think there is a natural increasing demand via population growth, jobs, etc... that provides a tailwind for value increases like other areas.

This may not matter to a buyer, but I've seen it impact values immensely in the wrong direction, even when it was producing significant income.

interested in metrics like growth, rental rates, value forecast, etc.I have seen reventure, the bigger pockets "find markets" tool, bestplaces, and costar.

Like @Chris Seveney said, focus on revenue first, then growth later.

What are the market rents, appreciation YoY, rent growth, etc. 

The purchase prices are cheaper, the supply/demand ratios are much more favorable, the cash flow is higher and more reliable and you can take advantage of the massive growth Atlanta is expected to see in the coming years and decades. 

My goal is to support your growth as an investor by offering competitive terms and a streamlined process so you can focus on what you do best—making smart real estate investments.If you have a project in mind or just want to discuss your options, feel free to reach out.

Instead, it really retarded my growth.

The only thing I can do know is grow the company some more to get the cash flow to fund a better system!

The people telling you to stay away from Greenville are closed minded individuals who don't like growth and change.
