Hi Daniel, Columbus GA has properties much lower in price than the metro Atlanta area, you should do fine to learn your local market.

I would say it could be done, just need to have the following:#1 - Have great overall knowledge of that market, and better than agents.#2 - Learn how to run comps so you know the value of the property better than anyone. #3 - Have finances in order (i.e) is this going to be bought through conventional, cash, HML, etc.

Granted, the real estate investing market was better in 2016 than it is now.Best of luck to you with whatever decision you make.

What I love about them is they will even accept the higher lease amounts over the market rents if we can show first month's rent and security deposit.

Here are the markets I’m exploring:St.

We purchased it off market, as-is, and as it was our personal home, we renovated over time.

Five units and above is a commercial property, and is handled differently in the market.

You are positioned right at one of the top 10, if not 3, STR markets on the planet buddy!

Diversifying your portfolio can also be beneficial, as it helps mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations.
