Looking to Expand – Atlanta or Tampa?

[Sharon Israel]

Hey everyone,

We’re offshore investors who have been doing fix-and-flip projects in the Triangle (NC), and now we’re looking to expand into a larger market. Right now, we’re torn between Atlanta and Tampa.

What we’re hoping to find:

- A market with plenty of off-market opportunities

- Mid-to-higher price point homes that make sense for flips

- Strong buyer demand once the renovations are done

- An environment that’s workable for offshore investors like us

For those of you working in either Atlanta or Tampa:

- Which market has been stronger lately for flips?

- Any unique challenges (competition, regulations, permitting, financing, etc.) we should expect?

- If you had to pick one of the two, which would you go with and why?

We’d really value hearing from investors who’ve been active in these markets.

Thanks in advance!
