Valdosta market? Anyone in the area?

I live in Coastal Georgia, and stumbled across the Valdosta market last night. Anyone actively investing in the area? Seems like a lot of student housing? Looks like some potential for decent cash flow. Any thoughts? I'd love to chat with anyone active in the area.

Hi Chris,

I own a protfolio of single family and duplexes in Valdosta and surrounding counties.  I have been pleased with the market.  I intended on buying here for cashflow and not expeecting much appreciation.  The appreciaition in the 4 years I've owned has been a big positive surprise.  The key for me was finding a good realtor, property manager and banker.  Feel free to reach out if you want any specifics. BTW I live in Southwest Florida also.

    Hey @Matt Blackburn Just saying hello as I'm doing my first flip in Valdosta.  Looking at moving back to Valdosta next year and doing more investing. Is there an Investor Meetup?

    Hey @DeRon Johnson, I dont know of one in Valdosta unfortunately. Me and another agent in the area talked about starting one but it just never happened. I know there is appetite for it. Feel free to reach out if you need anything!

    @Dan Host 

    Valdosta has been a great market for us over the last 5 years. Strong job and population growth, plus VSU and the military base are steady growing. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

    I'd love to chat with you on the Valdosta area. I have some friends and family who've spent time down there. Allegedly, it's the "gateway" to Florida. What is the population growth and future prospects looking like? @Jeff Tumbarello

    I am based in SWFL and I am very interested in potentially getting into my first rental property in Valdosta. Would love to pick anyone's brain who is involved in that market if you have the time!

     I am focused on cash flow. I don't care about appreciation. That MSA has a lot going for it, with a bunch of the small towns around it, doing great as well.
