@Charles Tucker Kimbrough this is incredible. I also graduated in 2020 and high-tailed it to Atlanta. I have an incredible interest in owning a portfolio made of short-term rentals and long terms to offset the higher risk of short terms. I would absolutely love to hear more about how you went from your first deal to where you are now man!

I’ve had luck with wholesaling land via text—BatchLeads to be specific. Haven’t tried it for properties. That is probably the best bang for your buck as far as time is concerned. You can send out 300 texts inside of 30 seconds and that is not an exaggeration. Give it a go man! @William Palomino

@Rick Baggenstoss Hey Rick, just wanted to clarify. So you're a developer and you've got some Airbnbs? Are they in the area? Very curious.

Quote from @Brian Cole:
Hey Clay,
I was trying to do the same thing that you are a couple years back. Step one you need to check with the HOA at your condo and make sure they don't have rental restrictions. Mine only allowed you to rent it out for two years and then you went back to the bottom of the waitlist causing the unit to just be sitting there vacant. If you are going to be buying in the Atlanta area I would also suggest house hacking as your best option right now. The uncertainty in the market, current prices in Atlanta, and this being your first investment if your condo building has strict rules house hacking would be the most lucrative. If there are no restrictions you could also leverage the money from the condo and rent it out. Hope this helps a little and good luck with your first deal!
@Amir B. Hey Amir, something to think about.

Hi Mitch,
What types of properties do you recommend?
Hey there Amir. Couldn’t tag you so figured I’d take a pic and show you what an experienced developer in the area had to say about condos here. I know everyone has their individual preferences, but foos for thought!

@Marlon Daniel So I'm a little green when it comes to short-term rentals but it seems like a good Facebook group to peruse would be Airbnb Hosts Home Owners/Renters and Cleaners of Atlanta Georgia. Either link I've posted here should take you to their page if you aren't already a member. I'd love to hear your story about how you got involved in the short-term rental game if you have time for coffee or lunch sometime soon.

Hi @Amir B. is this your first time investing? @Mitch Messer makes some great points. Condos could be a good investment, but so could single and multi-families here. Heck, new construction might even be up your alley. If you'd like any help crafting a personal investment plan, let me know. I'd be happy to help.
