Member since 2022 · 4 posts · 6 votes

Hi BP!

My name is Dajana, currently living in Florida with my husband Ryan. We are brand new to real estate investing and would love to connect with people in Florida, Georgia and South/North Carolina. Our current situation is very flexible right now in terms of where we can start our first flip or rental, we are eager to get started! Any guidance/tips would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks Everyone!

Hi @Nate Slappey III!

We are trying to pin point an area outside of Atlanta, any recommendations on up and coming areas for homes to flip?

Hey @Dajana Topic, welcome to the BP community!
I would recommend first looking in your own backyard to start investing. The learning curve is much shorter this way. However, if your market is not very friendly towards investing/flipping, there are plenty of solid markets throughout NC, several in SC and a few in GA too. Pretty much any market right now is going to seem overpriced when you look at price to rent ratios and it's a rocky time to start flipping with rates doubling in a couple months. Really hot markets like Atlanta might still have some runway left before prices flatline or drop a bit but I would be careful of flipping in less hot markets right now. It's a great time to do some research and select a market that you feel will be strong not just for investing now but for the near future. Hopefully your flexibility will allow you to move to the market you select to give you that boots on the ground advantage.
BTW, there are plenty of areas here in Atlanta that are still seeing high demand and appreciation, despite rates and inflation. We're still putting offers on homes and see double digits in competing offers.
Regardless of what market you select, you would be wise to put some resources into building your off-market deal funnel. The larger your deal funnel, the less likely you are to struggle finding a deal in these tough markets.
Hope this helps a bit! Please, feel free to reach out anytime if you have other questions or just want to chat!

@ Dajana Topic
I would certainly welcome connecting! I am about 40 minutes from Myrtle Beach. I am open to investing in SC, NC, GA & Fl. Happy to hop on a phone call and chat. What kind of investing are you looking to get into? Ex. fix/flips, buy and hold, short term rentals, wholesaling?

Hey Nate, If you're still interested in the GA market id love to connect and help you here. I live and invest in multiple markets here. STR and LTR. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll put some things in the works.
