Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm an investor looking to house hack in 2020 in a market like Atlanta. Housing is 2/3 cheaper than LA and the $900k+ prices of MFs in LA are just too much for a millennial like myself. I am looking for 2-4plexes for buy and hold with the initial purchase being a house hack situation. Would love to connect with others and start building a network with those in the Atlanta area!
@Matthew Nicklin leaning toward Northern Atlanta but any A or B neighborhoods with decent schools. C and D neighborhoods are not being considered. Do you have advice of neighborhoods that meet this criteria in the area?
@Josh Howard Find a duplex in a good school district is pretty difficult especially in north Atlanta. There are Duplex/Triplex in some parts of Cobb and Gwinnett County but the schools are not as good. You maybe better off finding a house with an in law suite or just doing a roomate situation. Not saying finding a duplex in a good school district is impossible but they are very rare in the north Atlanta market. Single family homes are much more common.
@Matthew Nicklin great to know. Thank you! Our situation is ever evolving and SFRs are not out of the question. A C+ neighborhood with a decent school is also an option but the ideal goal of a MF property is one of the main priorities.
@Josh Howard - there are some two to four family options in Greater North Atlanta A and B areas - reach out to me for more information, and lets talk about what you're actually trying to do.
