There are also a couple more near by from what I can see in aerial map views.   

Asheville is another story as Robert pointed out.There are more and more year round residents in Wolf Laurel in the last couple years so it is possible to get permanent renters there.  

There are 2 brand new neighborhoods there with homes selling at 500k plus; off Findley Rd, in Johns Creek, GA to be exact.

I had tried to start out on my own earlier this year, but lost money in a couple of deals due to lack of information and understanding of the market. 

My name is Linda and I'm brand new to this whole real estate business.

I'm a newbie investor who has been looking for my first buy and hold property for the past couple months.

You want to fix up a property and finance using hard money, then hope to sell in a couple years based on the appreciation.  

Most of the time the events are scheduled a couple weeks out but the last one was much shorter notice.  

With my current financial position, the properties need to have at least 1.2 rent/value ratio or higher, be 75% of value, and $150k or less. if the numbers work out in the near future, i would like to start using hard money lenders for the down payment and closing costs on the properties, and purchase them traditionally. i would like for these properties to also have a 1.0 or higher rent/value, and with my current credit i can get approved for around $150k-$200k, so the property would need to be below that. once i fill up my 10 allowed traditional financing properties, then i would go hard money lenders for down payment / closing costs, and private financing for the long term. by that time though my own portfolio should be able to provide down payments in leu of hard money. your comments and positive feedback / critizism about my strategy going forward is appreciated. i am a brand new real estate investor, finishing up on my first hard money/refinance acquisition now, so im just getting started and looking to grow the portfolio quickly. thank you

I didn't know how nice downtown Geneva was until a couple weeks ago while I was on my way to Batavia to pick up a packet for their triathlon.
