    Hi McKellar,

    Thanks for your reply. No, I am not currently investing. I am just starting out and trying to get into some wholesaling.

    I don't personally wholesale but I know some in the area. Feel free to contact me if you'd like their contact information. I started out flipping and turned the profits into rentals. I just buy rentals right now. I also work with new investors starting out buying rentals.

    Tivon, i saw that you want to network with atlanta investors. Im in the same situation, just starting out in wholesaling by myself. I work with an investor out here in Arizona but I am moving back to GA next year and I split my time between here and there trying to familiarize myself with the area once again. Have you been actively investing since you posted your topic and if so, how's your experience been? Im also looking to go into wholesaling and of course building long term relationships with people I can work with over the years in the future. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi Mike,
    are you looking in the Atlanta area? I may have a couple of properties good for rentals and need some repair work that I am working on. I also have land lots as well. Let me know what you're looking for, perhaps we can do some business together.

    I'm also located in Atlanta. You can try both the GAREIA and AtlantaREIA. Both are great starting spots for Atlanta investors. Peter Pasternack also has a great event once a month call ATL Connections. Look them up -- we usually have booths at all of them.

    Hi Manesh,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I have some pocket listings i'm working on in and around ATL. What are your buying criteria?

    Hi Melissa,

    Thanks for responding. We can definitely hook up. I've managed to build a pretty good list of buyers since I first started this thread. I've also joined the GAREIA as Manesh mentioned. I've learned alot from going to the meetings. Hit me up any time and we can link up.

    Tivon, what are your buyers looking for? Right now I'm working on 2 lots, (one being a 3 acre lot but it is west GA), a duplex (needs 12-15k rehab), and 2 condos . Not in upscale areas, but in parts of town that is being built up so potential for high value on buy and holds are good. Let me know which of these your buyers would be interested in. You can contact me direct at [email protected]

    I live in Canada, however my partner lives in Atlanta. She has a property management company and we are investors. She has many houses at different prices ranges with tenants. She does everything from A to Z, to help you either flip, or cashflow. Let me know if she can help you.
    Thanks

    Congratulations on starting to invest in Atlanta. It sounds like this market has some great potential. I have been compiling some data to compare the overall market in Georgia to that in Atlanta. Did you know that Atlanta has half of the foreclosure rate as the whole state. There are only one foreclosure for every 905 homes where the state is at a rate of one in 431. I would love it if you would take a peak at my data and tell me what you think.

    @Simon Campbell Thank you for that foreclosure information. I found it very surprising and interesting as well as a positive for the Atlanta area!

    @Account Closed  Things are even getting better. National statistics reveal that foreclosures fell by one percent year-over-year in April 2014, which is almost four years in a row that foreclosure activity has fallen. Banks and other lenders are initiating fewer notices of default against homeowners, and the rate – currently around 115,000 homes beginning the foreclosure process each month – is nearing the 2006 rate of approximately 85,000 per month.  This indicates a much more stable real estate environment.

    Hi there! I am a newer buy/hold investor in the Atlanta metro, currently with five units in my portfolio. Just wanted to say hello and wish you all the best as you begin your journey. I don't know nearly as much as many investors on this site, but I have spent many hours driving neighborhoods, crunching numbers, and looking for great deals. I don't know if I will be able to answer any of your questions, but send them along, and we can work on finding the answer together. Cheers!
