Augusta indeed offers great potential with a strong rental market driven by factors such as population growth and a stable job market.

It’s awesome to hear about your interest in investing in the OKC market—it’s a vibrant area with excellent long-term growth potential.

In today's climate where expense growth is exceeding rent growth, it's critical to have this dialed in and solve problems before they mature into gaping performance gaps in apartment operations.

If not for you and you prefer the traditional route, I would explore potential "up and coming" markets such as Acworth, Cartersville, and Douglasville, where the price-to-rent ratio is a little more favorable, and growth is apparent.

The case study illustrates the potential for exponential growth through house flipping by reinvesting profits. 

Start small with manageable deals, educate yourself continuously, and build a strong network and team to support your growth.

A more viable approach could be a straight 75% cash-out refinance—but only if you’ve invested in a city with strong, sustained population growth.

Since you're focused on equity appreciation, consider long-term rentals in growth areas (e.g., Smyrna, Decatur, Marietta), new construction or turnkey rentals for lower maintenance, or small multifamily properties for stability.

When looking at properties in other cities, I usually start by researching market trends like price-to-rent ratios, crime rates, and growth potential.

@Arlinda RexhoWhen considering a 32-64 unit multifamily property in Texas, focus on strong locations with population growth, proximity to amenities, and low crime rates.
