Georgia vs Tennessee | Which State Has Better Deals Under $100K

Same budget. Two states. One verdict. Which state has the best deals and which one comes up a bit short. You be the judge! We put Georgia and Tennessee head to head — six properties each, all at or under $100,000 — and ran them through four criteria: land value, economic anchor, rental ceiling, and build age risk. One state wins each round. At the end, there is a clear winner. But there is a catch — and it changes everything depending on what kind of buyer you are. We are talking a 4.71-acre lot in rural Georgia for $99,000. A foreclosure on 4.9 acres in Tennessee built in 2001 for $94,900. A military-anchored market in Chattahoochee County where median income hits $61,000. And a Tennessee property listed at $55,000 with a $13,000 price cut already baked in — which either makes it the most interesting math on this list or a cautionary tale, depending entirely on what the inspection turns up. Every property verified against live Zillow listings. Every market analyzed for median household income, rental ceiling, rehab reality, and exit strategy. This is not a listing show. This is what the numbers actually mean when you run them for real. At the time this video was created, all properties were listed and available. Real estate moves fast. Some may be gone by the time you are watching. The framework is what matters. House 1 - Tennille, Georgia - $99,000 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/17...
