They are convinced that the area is rebounding evidenced by the opening of two new manufacturing business with relatively substantial job creation for the area.  

@Heath DonnaldWhat you did is incorrect and a little bit messy.The owner of the property(whoever is on title - you or you and your spouse) should be making the payments for materials/rehab/etc.Your purpose for creating the LLC was liability protection - you should consult with your attorney but you likely didn't take the proper steps to get the liability protection afforded by the creation of the LLC

Also, it’s best practice to consider areas with population growth and job creation- they typically offer stable returns.

And to add to what you talked about, my marketing agency helps me with content creation and strategic organic growth  consulting but I do not do paid ads for my business or for properties.

The goal is always wealth creation, but I do it by buying properties at deep discounts, then shoring them up with good financing.

It might also limit the creation of new housing if developers and investors are less incentivized to sell and reinvest.

I see Grovetown and Evans booming with the creation of the Cyber division at Fort Gordon as well. 

Local Job creation (in my mind, if job creation is greater than population increase, that's also a good thing?)

To me cashflow is important to cover unexpected expenses but I buy for wealth creation and tax benefit, not to supplement my income.

Hi ZZ, you can start with (1) Landlord friendly states, (2) Population growth/migration patterns (3) Job creation...
