Hey BP fam,

I am a newbie investor in the Atlanta area trying to get started on my real estate investing journey.  From listening to podcasts and reading some of the forums on here, I can tell that this is the place to be! 

I'm thinking about doing a rehab or full flip, potentially while living in the property to use some decreased downpayment advantages.  I am in the Atlanta area but would be open to other markets or investment strategies if a better opportunity presented itself.  I just figured doing a local deal would be good for my first one, since it would allow me to be more hands-on to learn (or even live in the property while working on it).

I'm in no rush to jump into a property ASAP, but definitely wanted to start looking and getting a plan together for when I come across an opportunity that seemed to fit what I am looking for.  I would love to connect with anyone who could give some guidance on where to start, best practices, and any other advice to follow along the way.

Thanks and cant wait to get going on this journey!
