@Brandon Goldsmith - The place is popular with expats, artist and with the wedding industry.

So I put in two offers in on Wed. afternoon on two properties. 

(We are paying cash for a house flip and dumping into 401k's while the rest are STILL paying on weddings and student loans)If you can't operate your personal finances without relying on borrowed funds how will you achieve cash flow on investment properties?

OK...in that case, my wife and I had a wedding in the San Francisco area a couple of months ago.

I posted the house on Zillow on a Weds, had 7 interested groups of college kids by that Friday, set up an open house showing that Sunday (5 groups showed up and 4 took applications), and had a signed lease in hand by the following Monday!

However, we both have student loans and just recently paid for our wedding out of pocket which wiped our savings.

I would wait for the next major downturn if you are wedded to investing here, however, I think it would be good for your to at least consider to sell some now and diversify.Best of luck to you.

People travel there from Buckhead, Atlanta, Canton locally but there is also a lot of draw for events like the Ellijay Apple Festival, Jeep Fest, many local wineries, the views, weddings, etc.You do have to be careful about some properties road access when there is ice as the driveways and roads can be steep.

They get thank you cards following all the yelling, when there is yelling, and our underwriting manager gal was at my wedding. :)

In the 1950s, they hosted a wedding up there in the open-plan combined sunroom, living room, and dining room.
