Columbus, GA & Phenix City, AL

[Sharon Steenbergen]

Hi Everyone!!

My name is Sharon, and I am a long distance investor from Boston, MA.

I am currently looking for SFH in the Columbus, GA & Phenix City, AL areas. My husband and I, love buying homes around military bases to provide adequate and nice housing for soldiers. I currently have one home in the area in Phenix, City and I am looking to expand my rental portfolio.

Hi @Sharon Steenbergen and welcome to BiggerPockets!

Yes, Columbus hit our radar screen just this summer. We are based in Metro Atlanta, and in 2018 we begun looking outside that very overbought market for greener pastures. We're also starting up operations in other Sun Belt states including Texas, New Mexico and Nevada.

I completely agree with you that military bases (and I would add large medical centers) create huge opportunities for many kinds of real estate investment, including short-term rentals, lease/purchase, and self-storage.

Let's connect and compare notes!
