@Joe Derobertis @Jason Stiteler - Hey gang, i'd be happy to connect y'all with a guy I know that is having success in the Rome market.

Rome is just outside my service area, but I do deals in Cartersville. Ton of growth happening in Bartow county and I'd expect it to trickle out to rome.

Rome is significantly cheaper than cartersville and I'm expecting that gap to narrow over the next decade. Also, Rome is one of the only places I've seen that has consistent inventory below $100k.

Word of advise, If you're investing out of state there I HIGHLY reccomend spending a week or two there to see/understand the market.

DM me if interested - happy to point y'all in the right direction.

Hey Elani - my wife and I house hacked a townhome in Kennesaw (near kennesaw mountain) for a few years! House hacking is the lowest risk way to get into REI as long as you take on a mortgage you can afford on your own income. We still live here and learned a ton while doing it.

Also, there are a few solutions to the income situation. I'd be happy to chat getting you going in the right direction!

Hey Tess - congrats on the purchase! Not sure I'm quite in the position to mentor, but my wife and I have house hacked and broker a lot of rent by the room properties in Atlanta.

I'd be happy to share a few nuggets! Please feel free to PM me

Hey Rodney - there is a company called Kiavi that I have had two people come with during intro calls. One has worked with them on two deals prior and had a great experience.

This is one of the few HMLs I've seen that will go 10% down for new investors. There are limitations around LTVs - Please reach out if you have any questions!

Margot - I would love to chat with you on this particular property. I'm based out of Kennesaw - myself and a few partners would love to take a look at this and AT LEAST give you our thoughts after looking at the numbers and leases.

Hey Mike - I'd take a look to see how fast things are moving in the individual neighborhoods. I'm seeing renovated inventory sit, then trade well below list in a large portion of the ATL metro. 

In theory, it would make more sense to maximize value through the retail route and enter a combined exchange, but finding the right buyer for all three in GA + 1 buyer in Iowa could be a better return on brain damage.

Good news is there is still a lot of cash out there seeking yield.

Hey Boris - how big of a rehab are you wanting to take on? Shoot me a DM - would love to chat

 Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, and parts of Marietta

Hey Ryley - welcome to BP. My wife and I live in Kennesaw and spend a lot of time in Cartersville! We love it.

Where is your flip at?
