That\u2019s not surprising considering it has something for everyone including major cities, suburbs, farmland, beautiful mountains, lots of culture, and great Southern food. It&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpb.org\/georgiatraveler\/funfacts\">largest state East of the Mississippi River<\/a> and it\u2019s home to the oldest state park in the nation. People have been moving to Georgia to take advantage of its relatively low home prices compared to other states.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of real estate, Georgia home prices in August 2022 were up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/state\/Georgia\/housing-market\">13.8% from this time last year, with a<\/a> median sales price of $362,700 and a median days on the market of just 24.

Is it walkable? Is there a nice shopping district? Are the houses well-kept? Here are some things to consider when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-where-to-invest-in-real-estate\/\">choosing a neighborhood to invest in<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to local amenities such as parks, walking trails, shopping centers, and community events<\/li>\n<li>Condition of roads, sidewalks, and landscaping<\/li>\n<li>Proximity to tourist attractions (for short-term rentals), public transportation, and city centers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"section--3\" data-toc-header=\"Growing economy \" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Growing economy<\/h3>\n<p>Are any major companies moving to the area that may be beneficial to the economy? For example, in the metro Atlanta area, a lot of film studios are moving in which will provide jobs (and in turn people will need somewhere to live), according to real estate agent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/agents\/joe-weathers-ga-358988\">Joe Weathers<\/a>, who works in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/atlanta-ga\/top-real-estate-agents\">Atlanta metro area<\/a> and sells 99% of his listings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--4\" data-toc-header=\"Population growth\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Population growth<\/h3>\n<p>If buildings are boarded up and people are moving out, it may not be the best time to invest in real estate in that town. Instead, look for signs of population growth such as new schools, new housing developments, and large employers moving to the area. Retail stores and coffee shops that are \u2018coming soon\u2019 are also a good sign of increasing population growth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--5\" data-toc-header=\"Average rental rates and vacancy rates\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Average rental rates and vacancy rates<\/h3>\n<p>Understanding average rental rates in the area you are looking to invest in is key to determining your budget. Check out resources such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentlist.com\/\">Apartment List<\/a> to find average rental rates in your area.<\/p>\n<p>You will also need to pay attention to <a href=\"https:\/\/ipropertymanagement.com\/research\/rental-vacancy-rate\">vacancy rates in your area<\/a> \u2014 homes that sit unoccupied for an extended period of time are cause for concern. Low vacancy rates in an area indicate that rentals are in high demand (and your potential rental is less likely to sit empty).<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--6\" data-toc-header=\"School district ratings\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>School district ratings<\/h3>\n<p>Tenants with children will often decide to rent a place based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/\">school district rating<\/a>, so you want to know this ahead of time.

investment property in Georgia<\/h2>\n<p>Here is some helpful advice on how to get the best real estate investments in Georgia:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Partner with an expert real estate agent that knows the area and has experience working with investors.<\/li>\n<li>Understand your local landlord\/tenant laws.<\/li>\n<li>Know the zoning in the area you\u2019re purchasing a property in. Just because that basement studio is currently rented, doesn\u2019t mean that it is in compliance with local zoning regulations.<\/li>\n<li>Leave room in your budget for maintenance and repairs.<\/li>\n<li>Check out the property during the day and at night. The neighborhood may look completely different.<\/li>\n<li>Know what\u2019s \u2018coming soon\u2019 to the area so you can tell tenants about a new coffee shop or any other amenities that will make your unit more attractive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cDo your research and consider the property\u2019s potential over the next three to five years. Be aware of new developments, new construction, and new businesses coming to the area. Don\u2019t just focus on the immediate cash flow,\u201d Shares, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/agents\/joe-weathers-ga-358988\">Weathers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Header Image Source: (Alix Greenman \/ Unsplash)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Atlanta to Savannah, and other great options in between \u2014 here are our picks for the best real estate investments in Georgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":332,"featured_media":33645,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[192,620,626],"tags":[787],"class_list":["post-33643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-buyers","category-buy-house","category-real-estate-investing","tag-best-real-estate-investments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Where to Find the Best Real Estate Investments in Georgia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From Atlanta to Savannah, and other great options in between \u2014 here are our picks for the best real estate investments in Georgia.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-best-real-estate-investments-in-georgia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Calling all Peach State Investors!
