New investor for Multi family in north metro Atlanta

[Jewel Welch]

Hello BP,

New investor here looking to buy a duplex/triplex in the metro Atlanta area (preferably North). I'd like to live in and and rent out the other(s). Looking to see if anyone had recommendations on a real estate agent who has experience with first-time buyers, and also first time buyers of multi-family properties in the area.

Thanks!

Hey @Jewel Welch, I agree with @Anthony Dooley by not being advised by real estate agents as most aren't investors like yourself and will not be looking at a deal on a return basis. My advice would be to start getting online to see what is out there and fits "YOUR" criteria, which should be predicated on it's income producing capabilities and then looking 5, 10, 20 or 30 year at the exit asking yourself will this still be a good investment then. I would utilize the BP calculators online or build your own financial model like what I have done to start analyzing these deals. Start taking action today and networking with others because as you will quickly come to find out, this business is predicated on who you know. Best of luck and let me know if I can be of any assistance!
