I have not personally used this strategy, but when I first started out a very experienced investor told me his strategy was to approach brokers and ask for deals that never sold.  

Or is simply dropping the price until it rents the best strategy?

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. 

The cost can get away from you very quickly.
