I think it has the best opportunity for appreciation & value add, attracts the most renters, has the easiest exit strategy. 

I still have a (JOB), and I am attempting to work on my exit strategy from (just over broke). 

Just wanted to introduce myself and see if any veterans had any advice for a newbie to real estate as an investment strategy and good areas in the state of Georgia along with private lenders or banks in the area.Thanks for any help!

If you would like to chat more in-depth about your goals, and try to come up with a strategy that will work for you, feel free to PM me.  

Unless you don't own a home now and then your strategy should be a house hack.  

I went from planning elaborate 10 year strategies in my head, to actually talking about real estate with real people in real life (crazy for us millennials I know I know). 

@Chris MartinI like your strategy but for an investor with $50k liquid, investing in an 8 unit is difficult unless partnering with one or more investors. 

I'm passionate about RE and always looking to meet like minded people and learn different strategies!

From the podcasts, it sounds like the BRRR strategy works well but I'm not looking to get that active.

My goal is to get 8-10% net cap rate for a long term (20-30 years), I'm still considering few strategies, To invest in a big and stable city like Jacksonville to buy a old house (1960-1980) in not so good neighborhood and give it to a property management company to take car of the properties or to go to a medium city like Gainesville but will still need a local property management or it will be better for me to invest in a new construction in a small city like Ocala (I know there is a lot of development in the area) and I can also manage it myself.
