New Investor Exploring MTR Opportunities in Augusta, GA

[Isabelle Lapsley]

Hi everyone – I’m new here and want to start investing in the Augusta, GA market. I currently live just outside Boston, MA, so out-of-state investing feels like the right path for me.

Since I’m just starting out and looking to supplement my W-2 income, I’m focusing on cash-flowing markets and strategies. MTRs stand out as a great middle ground: higher returns than LTRs, with less turnover and day-to-day management than STRs.

On paper, Augusta looks like a strong fit for my goals (population, income, and rent growth all trending up). But I’d love to step away from spreadsheets and hear directly from those of you investing here:

• What strategies are working well in this market?

• Why did you choose Augusta?

• Where do you see the market heading in the coming years?

Looking forward to learning from this group and connecting with you all!
