What do you predict the Georgia market will be like over the next 12 months?

these are the same indicates that predict rent growth.Best wishes

I disagree with your prediction, but you do make some valid points.

Many areas with great school systems don't react like that, and they are impossible to predict the ones that will. 

Maybe there's a sweet spot that gives you some capital to redeploy while keeping monthly payments manageable and preserving some of your existing cash flow.If the new 5% loan is 30-year fixed, that does give you long-term predictability—but like Don and Adam said, you're essentially exchanging cheap capital (your current loan) for moderately priced capital, so your hurdle rate is higher than it looks on the surface.

Anyone who thinks they can predict real estate prices is too young or inexperienced to have been through 2008 - 2011.  

Meanwhile, you're sitting on capital exposed to the volatility of the stock market, which can swing wildly based on global news, interest rate decisions, or tech earnings.Real estate, on the other hand, offers predictable, tangible value.

We can go vertical in 4–6 months, keep costs predictable, and hit price points tenants can live with.

If the numbers make sense now (e.g. monthly payments, rental income if applicable), that’s more important than trying to predict a crash that may or may not come.Good luck!

This area is going to be developed with Data Centers and homes, but my prediction is that it will bring up the values of the homes in the surrounding areas as it brings more and more businesses to the area.
