Thank you so much for sharing this information. It's especially helpful to gain insights from someone based here in Georgia. I’ll definitely take a closer look at the markets you mentioned.

If you happen to know of any real estate investor groups or meetups in Coweta County or nearby areas like Fayette County, I’d love to hear about them!

Hi Terrence,
Thank you for the information—I’d be happy to hear your insights.

Since I don’t currently have capital to invest, I’m exploring a few creative ways to get started. One idea I’m considering is finding good fixer-upper deals in decent neighborhoods and adding value through sweat equity. My husband and I are willing to do hands-on work like landscaping, interior and exterior cleaning, painting, and other tasks that don’t require much upfront money. The plan would be to improve the property and sell it for a small profit to help build initial capital.

I’m also looking into wholesaling, as well as the possibility of using hard money or private money to finance my first deal. In addition, I’m very interested in house hacking a small multifamily property—ideally a duplex or triplex—again using creative financing options, as long as the numbers make sense.

While I'm based in Coweta County, I’m definitely open to exploring opportunities in other counties with solid neighborhoods and good investment potential.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here as a new member of BiggerPockets. I live in Coweta County, Georgia, and I'm just beginning my journey into real estate investing. While I’m new to the field, I’ve been diving into books, YouTube videos, and podcasts to build a strong foundation. Three books that have really inspired me so far are Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, as well as The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down and How to Invest in Real Estate —both published by BiggerPockets.

Since I’m not currently working a 9-to-5, I’ve been using this time to focus on learning and building a foundation for long-term success. My goal is to achieve financial freedom through real estate, and I’m here to connect with and learn from more seasoned investors.

Looking forward to growing and contributing to this community!
