Hi Tyler, 

Will this home also be your primary residence while doing the BRRR method? Have you considered an FHA 203K renovation loan? Down payments can range between 3.5-10%

This may be a good option for you.

I have experience investing in up-and-coming areas in Atlanta.  I had 3 properties with long-term tenants for a few years. I also self-managed those properties and boy did they call me for any and every reason. I later sold those properties and now only focus on nice areas in good school districts.  When looking for homes, I go after poorly photographed homes with vague descriptions. I look for value that the listing agent hadn't highlighted well. In my market, I find there are more deals in the off-season ( October- January).

Your subject investment property seems quite a bit risky. How many bedrooms and bathrooms? SQFT? STR or LTR? Could it be converted to become a duplex?

I see you have a marketing budget of $500 that includes staging.  Please make sure that you hire the best photographer in the area.  And that your exterior presentation is on point.  You will need to make the best first impression.

The view looks amazing! Especially the sunset photo! Congratulations!

I've been lucky to receive guests staying 60 or more days. I'm curious to see momentum in the fall and winter months. My property is a fairly new listing but in a great location. 

How's the STR market where you live?

I would love to connect!  How is the journey going for you so far? 

Our MTR is located in Milton, Georgia!  So far, it's completely booked until August 1st!
