Talk through a propertyHow Augusta deals
actually look
Augusta and Richmond County carry lower price points than metro Atlanta, with more value-add fourplexes and 6 to 10 unit buildings than mid-rise apartment stock. Underwriting still splits by unit count: four units or fewer on residential DSCR, five to ten on small multifamily, eleven plus on apartment DSCR.
Deals near Fort Eisenhower, the medical district, and Washington Road commercial corridors each produce different tenant profiles and insurance pictures. Send the address and unit count before comparing quotes from other markets.
