I really like your idea about focusing on equity and rent growth and buy nicer new house.

It is very hard to find good deals now a days, better to go with new construction home in nicer neighborhood.

Do you recommend any particular Atlanta area or particular communities where we can find good new construction homes.

@David Wright

You are right, all those criteria are very important, but again Location, Location & Location is the key in real estate...

Considering long term investment, population growth of the metro is key factor. As we can see many Northeast state are still under water after 10 year of real estate boom, whereas RE in South and West is more than double from 2008 low.

Right now people are making money in all market but considering downturn sometime in future, I feel these market are safe bet based on population growth expectation.

Here is interesting article by Oxford Economics on World cities with maximum population and GDP growth by 2030...

Here is ranking of cities with maximum population growth expected in North America.. (Number in Millions...)

Based on this... safe market to invest is...

1. Dallas
   
2. Phoenix

Hi @David Ivy,

As Austin market is very strong, what is your thoughts on investing in new construction.

I see few builder are selling new construction houses in range of 200K.. location is little remote but city growth will catch up with the area. Do you recommend investing in those new construction for long term investment..?

@Melissa Man, That is excellent area for investment property. Just little slow down.
