I'm an active investor doing cash flow deals in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan.I'd be happy to compare real estate market notes with you.

Macon, GA, has plenty of potential for this strategy, especially with its affordable property prices and rental demand.

It sounds like you're on the right track with Freeport!
