New From Atlanta Area

Rachelle S.
  • Smyrna, GA
Posted

Hello! My name is Rachelle and I am fairly new to the real estate investing world. I am 29 years old and I work as a microbiologist here in Atlanta. I currently work in Atlanta and live in the Dallas GA area.

I purchased my first home out of college and have managed to purchase two additional properties in the past 2 years when I saw great opportunity. Atlanta had incredibly low prices and high inventory here for a short time. I went in completely unprepared with no education on the correct way to do things. I have managed to come out unscathed with two sets of renters and a positive cash flow due to great deals.

I am here to learn whatever I can as quickly as possible. I have so many questions and am excited to hear back from everyone with advice, criticism, strategy and ideas. I am currently involved in SFH for long term rentals. I am looking to expand in this area as well as possibly multi-family units.

I am in need of information on good contractors for all aspects of renovations (electrical, plumbing, etc). Also very interested in learning about financing options and how to limit credit score hits with new utilites and loans. That drives me crazy!

Looking forward to interacting with you all!

Rachelle
