Thank y'all for your recommendations! My wife and I unfortunately already own a perfect SFH that her parents can come visit and stay with us at so house hacking would likely jeopardize that luxury to some degree, and not to mention Lord only knows when our family will start growing ha.

However, we currently only have the ability to search in the market for an investment property worth around 100-150k if we only have the option of putting 20% down which is extremely slim pickins in Atlanta to get in a decent up and coming spot. We will continue to look at SFR and MFH though for the time being til we hear of a better option for us.

I am seeking real estate investing start-up advice in the Atlanta, GA area.

I currently work as a structural engineer for my full-time job, but I hoping to get my feet wet in the real estate investing game within the next 6 months to start gaining some assets!

Me and my future investment partner, Luke, want to learn more about different investment strategies and what we should seek out with a limited start up budget, such as best type of deal for an inexperienced beginner, best type of start-up property, signs of a soon to be thriving location, etc.

We also want to increase our “financial intelligence” more before diving in, because once we get our feet wet with property #1 we anticipate we will be hungry for property #2 and the snowball will begin to roll.

I have checked out the GA REIA site for upcoming meetings, but they all appear to be during working hours.

Please send me a connection request if you are in the local market. I would love to discuss some of these items more with you!

Thanks,

Ben Scarborough
