As long as you can vet the current tenant (they're up to date on rent and haven't had big lapses recently) you shouldn't have as much to worry about as far as late or non payment due to covid.
Thanks Kiera! I'd love to connect to talk more about that and the possible properties that may be on the market now. I'll send you a DM.

Thanks Moises! I'm working on my next investment now, trying to decide on the best location, whether to do in state or out of state, not really sure. I may look at Savannah, GA or somewhere outside of metro atlanta and preferably a multifamily as well. Any tips?

Hello!
I'm a 26 year old newbie real estate investor living in Atlanta. I purchased my first home 4 years ago and plan to turn it back into a rental property next year, but I want to invest in another property (preferably multifamily) before then. I've been doing a lot of research and have landed on going out of state instead of trying locally, are there any markets you'd suggest for a budget of about 100-150k? I've heard about Cleveland, Kansas City, Detroit, Phoenix, etc. I know mortgage forbearance is ending soon, would you wait until then and then possibly stay local? What are your thoughts?

Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie real estate investor , purchased my first home at 22 which I intend to turn back into a rental property when I move in the next year or so and I want to invest in a multifamily property out of state. What markets would you look at with a budget in the 100-150k range (I'd rather start alone, my dad is interested in investing with me if it makes sense so the budget could be higher) and I've heard about Kansas City, Cleveland, Detroit, Phoenix, and a few other places, I also know that mortgage forbearance is ending in the next couple of months so maybe Atlanta may be a great place all along?

Investment Info:
Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Atlanta.
Purchase price: $123,000
I bought my first home when I was 22, great location, great price, and will be turning it back into a rental next year.
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
The location and the price, homes in this neighborhood only stay on the market for an avg of 2 weeks, so I knew that this area would continue to appreciate in value and I currently have over 50k in equity on the home.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
Suprisingly, zillow.
How did you finance this deal?
Mortgage.
How did you add value to the deal?
Still working on this.
