However, we come across so many rental properties here in Macon, that a majority of the properties we find we wholesale and send off to our investors list.Macon's market is so diverse that you can take on almost every type of Real estate indevor you'd like.

We're very diverse in jobs and VERY affordable which keeps attracting more people.We also have a great infrastructure that allows for better commuting and huge growth potentials.But, you need to make sure you lay eyes on any property you buy.

Hi Scott,    Hampton Roads is a diverse area, as attested by all of the comments that have been shared.  

Amazon has two other West Valley locations that are opening this year, which are a cross-dock facility in Goodyear and a delivery station in Surprise, creating more than 1,000 full-time jobs in the West Valley.Also earlier today from the PBJ:GPEC: Valley could add 5,400 manufacturing jobs in next four yearsHighlights:In the next four years, the Phoenix area is expected to add 5,400 manufacturing jobs, and about one-quarter of those will be created by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s massive Arizona plant.TSMC is expected to create 1,900 jobs, and several companies that work with TSMC have already announced plans to come to Arizona.When I talk with BiggerPockets members wanting to invest here I always mention how much more diverse our economy is than it was back in 2008 when things went sour for the country and we felt it especially hard here.With stories coming out daily of companies expanding their operations here or moving here, there remains a lot of opportunity for investors.If you want to learn more about the Valley's economic and growth forecast, check out these maps on the Maricopa Association of Governments website:https://www.azmag.gov/Programs...Cities like Goodyear, Surprise, Glendale, Peoria, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek and Tolleson, Avondale and other Metro Phoenix cities, are benefitting from this ever increasing economic activity.That translates into good news for property investors around the Valley.Melanie

This is probably one of the most diverse communities of investors on the internet when it comes to REI and it's high time I get to know people who are doing the same thing I want to do.
