Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an actress and real estate agent in NYC who's looking to begin an investing career. I started listening to BP podcasts in February and am very eager to get my foot in the door. I'm thinking about purchasing some single-family residences in Atlanta, where I'm from and where my family still resides. I also have exclusive rental listings in over 40 buildings from the UWS to Washington Heights so if you know anyone looking to rent you should definitely hit me up! Sorry, that may have been too sales-y for this forum discussion...Anyway, I'm mainly here to learn from others and welcome any and all advice. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to BP! I'm glad to see another strap hanger on BP. This is a great place to learn about any and everything under the sun! Feel free to send me a message if you are ever looking to network or if you have any properties for sale.

Hi Amanda Schmieder,
Welcome to BiggerPockets!
Are we talking about acting on Broadway here? I love Broadway. :-)
Atlanta is a great market for investors. We have clients as far as Singapore focused on the metro because they know it will be a good long term investment for them. The only problem is it's getting a little harder to find the same deals as a year ago.
Anyway, jump into the forums and ask whatever want.

Welcome Amanda Schmieder! Great to have you here! Be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts for some of the topics you are knowledgeable about, or other topics that interest you (like wholesale, Atlanta, Rehab, etc ) so you'll be notified that those words were mentioned in the forums and can jump into those conversations! It's also an awesome way to meet new people from your area when they introduce themselves to this forum!

Hey Amanda! Where are you from in Atlanta? I'm from there as well, only left about 3 years ago for LA, and most of my investment properties are there. It's a really tough market now but there are still deals there, although I wouldn't count on them being there for much longer. Inventory is nasty thin.
I've met quite a few folks from NY and NJ trying to invest out of state and I live in LA so I of course only invest out of state too. If you want some inside scoop into who the goods and the bads are of Atlanta, I can definitely give you my opinion (offline from here of course).
