New here from NW Georgia, looking for first property

Hi everyone! My husband, Paul, and I live in Adairsville and are looking for our first property in either NW Georgia or Chattanooga area. So far it seems like Rome or Chattanooga might be the better areas to invest. We are looking to BRRRR our first property and get the ball rolling. We would like to connect with others in the area and also welcome any recommendations for people to work with. We have not ensemble our team yet, so we need to get out there and meet others!

We are very excited to get this started and have been "running our numbers" daily in pretty much every Zillow property we've found.

Chattanooga seems promising and @Adrienne Green is a good resource to tap into. 

You may want to re-evaluate Rome. Crime and Poverty levels are high in most neighborhoods. Are you looking for SFR or MFU?

    @Tyler Vogt Thank you! 

    @Adrienne Green You're so right! and such a great reminder to enjoy the journey. I was just listening to on of the episodes of BiggerPockets podcast where they mentioned that!

    @Kaustubh Johri thank you for that insight about Rome! We are continuing to do more research and seems like growth wise Chattanooga may be our best bet. We lived in the Acworth/Kennesaw area for 8 years and worked in ATL. We are also looking in that area but seems like most things that way are out of our budget (200k max). The growth in metro area has been huge in the last few years and rent prices seem to be catching up there a bit quicker than everywhere else. 

    @Adrienne Green I think you sent a link to set up an appt, I’ll definitely set something up, I’d love to get your insight on the Chattanooga market since we’re not as familiar, other than making trips there to go out for dinner or the touristy stuff.
