To learn more about Andre Merkerson, we sat down with him to get an inside scoop on his career in Real Estate & his take of the current Georgia RE market.

The Countryside of Georgia

Merkerson has been able to amass a 400 unit portfolio with mainly C-class buildings in residential markets that are an hour away from major MSA Atlanta. The affordable price range makes it easy to find properties that have tremendous upside in terms of equity growth & also stable enough to rent. Andre Merkerson understands that within these neighboring towns of ATL, a lot of the workforce is backed by major corporations that are established throughout Georgia making rents more easy to be paid by tenants. By catering to the C-class tenants and flipping properties to other investors, Merkerson has been able to create an impressive portfolio of RE assets.
