New member in Madison, Mississippi

[Cody Covington]

Hello, I'm new to the site and am getting started in real estate investing. My primary area of interest is in rental properties. Any advice from the veterans out there?

I'd be looking for properties either in Canton or NE Jackson. or maybe Ridgeland. Real Estate in Madison is pretty pricey. My properties are all in South Jackson but that's because I live there. I hope you know Mississippi well enough to spot the foundation problems that are endemic here. I would recommend Sherry Azordegan as a real estate lady, especially if you intend to buy in Madison County. She's really good. Her father was a brain surgeon(seriously) who bought real estate in Madison County when there was basically nothing up there. She became the real estate tycoon, her brother became the brain surgeon. She doesn't like to do HUD or Fannie Mae anymore so you may want to use someone else for those.
