New to Georgia — Excited to Build & Connect

New to Georgia — Excited to Build & Connect

Hi BP community,

I’m Nelson Lovell‑Nuñez, a recent (18 months) transplant from NY to Georgia. My wife and I launched HeritageBridge Holdings as a family-led venture focused on long-term wealth and legacy through multifamily real estate.

Right now, we’re looking to expand beyond our single NY rental and grow a small portfolio of 4–20 unit multifamily properties across metro Atlanta — especially in Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties. We're open to:

1) Buildable lots or infill opportunities

2) Value-add multifamily with renovation upside

3) Anything near MARTA, the BeltLine, or other strong rental corridors

We’re early in this journey here in GA, but we’re serious about scaling. Over the next couple of years, we plan to acquire and develop multiple properties — starting with a 4-unit and scaling up from there.


I bring 15+ years in corporate America, including work in M&A, strategy, project management, finance, operations, and risk. We also have a lot of hands-on experience with residential renovations, which we plan to leverage as we grow.

We're actively looking to network and build relationships with:

1) Agents, wholesalers, and investors who know the local terrain

2) GCs, designers, and architects with small multifamily experience

3) Lenders familiar with investor products and creative financing

4) Anyone who’s willing to share knowledge or collaborate

If you’re in Atlanta (or nearby), I’d love to connect, swap stories, and explore ways to support each other’s goals. Always open to learning from others who are further down the road.

Thanks for the welcome!

    Hi Nelson and Akilah!

    Welcome to BiggerPockets. I am also from NY where I did my Bachelor's and Master's at NYU. I moved to GA about 11 years ago and am a broker and realtor with 10+ years of experience in the metro ATL area. I also have investment properties myself, so I'd say I know the area quite well! It'd be great to connect and chat about y'alls needs, and hoping to build a working relationship together!

    @Nelson Nunez - welcome to GA.  I'm at the Perimeter, and have been here for over 15 years.  You and your wife will love it hear.  Let's connect, grab coffee.  I'm well connected here and also have an outlet for sourcing off-market deals.

    @Nelson Nunez, welcome to the Atlanta investment scene. I don’t mean to steer you away from your current strategy, but since you and your wife are newer to the area, I’d recommend exploring the investment strategy of rent-by-the-room. Like any investment approach, it comes with trade-offs, but it may allow you to scale faster than targeting small- to mid-sized multifamily deals. Also, seconding what Bill said—GAREIA is a great local resource and well worth checking out. Happy to chat more—I’ll shoot you a DM.

    Defiantly get with GAREIA. I just left Roswell in 2021 and went to the hills, traffic is enough to drive a man crazy there.. Miss some of the downtown restaurants though just not the parking ;)
