New investor from DC interested in Atlanta

[Dan Hooper]

Hi.  I am a new investor living in DC, but interested in investing in Atlanta.  I am working with a partner investor (also from DC) and my brother in Atlanta who is a sort of jack of all trades handy-man for the house.  I have been doing a lot of research on bigger pockets and through other books and websites as well.  My partner and I are going to visit Atlanta and are talking with a real estate agent in the area, but I am wondering if anyone has recent experience dealing with wholesalers in the Atlanta area.  We are primarily interested in buy and hold properties, and are looking for discounted properties that need a bit of fixing up to be done.  Just looking for some pointers and to learn from others who are more experienced than us.  Thanks and I look forward to speaking with you all.
