Keep my information @Christopher A York, it's possible I may hire another acquisitions associate or someone to assist elsewhere in our companies next year.
Getting into this business is much easier than people think. You've already taken the first steps, now your next best thing is to follow though and be persistent. Seriously, do both!! Don't listen to the nay sayers, they'll only bring you down. Also, don't go out expecting everyone will give you a ton of info if you aren't bringing them value, so bring a solution to an investors problem or assist and they'll likely tell you more than you expect.
Best of luck sir!

I agree, and now that everyone has seen what the Beltline has done, i'm sure it will only get better from here. However, I don't feel that its EVER a wise idea to only buy based on the assumption of appreciating values. BTW, "won't be as desirable" simply meant as desirable as other areas with those amenities, but I agree @Michaela G. now doubt we see growing demand there now.

FYI, @Chance Bridges (I didn't text you, you might already know this) but for others guess what... Monday Night Brewery just broke ground on their HUGE 2nd brewery. And guess where it's at. On the Beltline in West End.
As Rick stated, it's nice to see so many investors in the area rehabbing, but until we get some better restaurants and businesses, it won't be as desirable. So many people are riding "The train is coming the train is coming!!" assuming it will just continue to grow and grow and never stop. Well, it will cap out. I'm sure with better businesses and restaurants we'll have another EAV, kindof area. If we're luckly similar to Highlands down the road with the beltline, the Quarry (park) etc.
One can only assume, so it's best to buy for today, make the numbers work today! If they get better (and I too feel it's still growing, no doubt) then that's gravy on the top baby.
Post: Building Code Dekalb County Atlanta, Ga for building deck additio

@Paul C. Are you pulling a permit for your deck? If not, then don't worry about Code Enforcement. However, like a previous investor mentioned, check with the manufacturer's recommendation in the event (I doubt it) says minimum clearance is less than 36" then you'll feel a little more comfortable.
IF you have to move it, and your dealing with Code Enforcement, they might gig you on not having the disconnect or weather resistant GFCI outlet within a certain number of feet from the unit. If you don't have one, they can make you have one (that building inspector could make you pull an HVAC permit too). I have a number of feet in mind but I am not sure and do not want to post it until someone confirms it. I know our inspector made us move it, we moved it just outside the distance it should have been from the outlet but he just walked around, saw it moved and left. So we got lucky.
The cost of moving it, well it completely depends on your HVAC guy, which could also result in an electrician too. Most HVAC guys do not move or run the electrical, accept from disconnect to the unit. Depending on how much extra line set you have, you might be extremely limited to the distance you can move the unit without replacing some of the line set. If that is done, there goes your coolant!
IF you are having this deck permitted, you'll need to have your property surveyed and sight plans for the County. Be sure your contractor is informed of the recent change in code for decks before they build it! They've changed the size of lumber you have to use on the corners now and I believe something to do with footers. Code Enforcement will make you pour the footers, they'll have to check them first, then you can begin the build.
I know this is far more than you asked for, but keep them in mind if you go this route. But you'll see how a $125 permit could turn into $250 for permits and reschedule fees, plus the additional cost of your contractors etc.
Best of luck sir.
