Fair point! Again, thanks for the insight @Canesha Edwards As an agent, have you had a lot of clients who house hack?

Your breakdown is much appreciated @Canesha Edwards

To give you an idea of what I plan to do, Ideally I'd want to rent a SFR by the room, so the added basement space was a plus for me. I have no qualms with renting out the entire space while living in a trailer in the driveway - going the aggressive house hacking route here! As for the roof, could that be something negotiated with the seller? As in I buy the house conditional upon them fixing the roof?

Thank you so much @Canesha Edwards! You're the best! As I understand it, the price per square foot for this house falls below what is typical in College Park. I'm looking to do a little forced appreciation in the form of cosmetic work, so this one has definitely piqued my interest. Would you be willing to give it a look? If not, no problem!! You've already been so helpful:) https://www.zillow.com/homedet...

@Canesha Edwards Thank you so much for your opinion Canesha! I'm glad you mentioned the school district because it seems that this really is the only drawback to the area, and the fact that it doesn't seem to affect appreciation all that much is nice to hear. Is the 30337 zip code an area that would be desirable for aspiring actors and actresses to rent as an alternative to higher priced apartments smack dab in the middle of the action in Atlanta? Would you advise renting to aspiring actors? haha forgive me if these questions are amateurish, I'm from CT and don't know the area at all...YET:)

Hey everyone! Currently reading Craig Curelop's book on house hacking AND I'm planning on moving to the Atlanta GA area soon so I figured hey when life gives you lemons! I was wondering if anybody had some insight as to what would be the "best" area to do this. By best, I mean up and coming towns currently in transition from b- to b+ that aren't exactly in downtown Atlanta, but aren't farther than a 10 minute drive. Ideally looking for something in 200-300k range. I was looking through some old discussion threads that talked about massive development in the College Park area. Would this be a wise place to house hack, and make some lemonade so to speak? Haha thanks everyone!

@Rita Grimes Hey there, Rita. Did you ever gain traction as a wholesaler? My partner and I are in the beginning stages--meeting with sellers, talking to contractors and realtors, making offers--and just wanted to know how it went for you when you started out! Thanks:)
