Hi fellow Atlantians.... : )  still trying to locate meetups with likeminded folks, investors, etc etc. I just bought my first property and moved in this week. I'm planning to hold this one, hone some skills on it, rent a room, etc. And then invest in a second property within the year to resell or rent. 

It would be good to be around others that are doing similar things, not just to learn from them but to just plain get to meet others and be around that REI energy. Noone in my circles does anything with real estate. In fact, most think I'm nuts, or are naysayers. :P I know it's a tough market, but I believe that where there is a will, there is a way. And being with people that are in the same mindset and community is a helpful thing.

Anyways, reach out, say hi, or talk about some meetups you know of. Or let's start one. : )

I'm currently now in Acworth, and I like this side of town (Woodstock, Marietta, Roswell, Acworth, etc.) as a place of focus for investing.

Hi Ken, I also live in the Atlanta area. I enjoy taking photos and have a critical eye for issues as well. Feel free to message me if you need another person. (I am on the Acworth/Marietta side, the Northwest of ATL)

thank you, much appreciated! For now im focusing on my move but i’ll be up there by end of dec. :)

Thanks @Ethan Henning  :)

Not sure how to direct msg yet tho... I did look him up online and i think i have the right contact info. 

thank you, Roman, i will definitely check him out!

Hi All,

I just discovered Bigger Pockets and it was like the AHA! moment for me. I want to begin in real estate investment. I'm looking to do a first house fixer upper, probably a live-in flip. I am relocating to Marietta in about a month (from Palm Beach FL) for work.

**Does anyone know any decent real estate agents in the area? (Marietta/Atlanta/Smyrna/Kennesaw/Woodstock) Ones who understand REO (real estate owned) and foreclosed properties? Someone who is generally knowledgeable about all of this and real estate investing? And who is a good communicator.**

Note: I am not rushing a sale. I plan to rent first, find an agent, then look for/ wait for, a deal.

Thanks in advance!
