Post: Cheap Rental in Ellenwood

Great yard and not much work needed on the inside for this rental near. It needs some carpet and a new counter top in the kitchen. It also needs a new front window. I estimate it shouldn't take more than 14K to fix it up. It's located on the Clayton county side of Ellenwood

Arv: $40,000

Repairs: 14,000

Beds/Baths: 3/1

Previously rented out for $800/month.

Please be sure and include your full name for the NCND (which will be sent through Docusign) and the offer number(s) in which you have an interest.

 Did you make offers or did they get accepted? And how did they get accepted so fast?

Also what state are they located in?

I went and it was very superficial in terms of what info was given. They say send letters and make offers but don't really provide nuts and bolts, which is what newbies need. That said I understand how that could be hard to squeeze all that into 3 days. 

I did get to meet pizza face from All That. I miss that show.

it should be self explanatory. 

Why not wait till you get there. When you find a deal then start to ask how to figure it out.

I'm thankful to God for this awesome social network.

I love reading the various posts on Real Estate.

It inspires me to want to roll up my sleeves to get my 1st deal.

I have a question and I know this forum won't disappoint.

When searching for a realtor does it matter that I search for an investor friendly realtor?

Thanks so much... I look ward to your comments.

By the way, I live in San Gabriel Valley. I would to find Wholesalers & Investors in my area.😊

Good morning,

My business partner and I (both raised in the Metro Atlanta area) recently started our real estate investing company. We are currently making plans to do our first deal. For now we are looking to get into the buy and hold SFR/Duplex space; we are also looking to grow our network in our desired market, which is (ITP) Inside the Perimeter of Atlanta. We have done a lot of research and market analysis, and we have a pretty good idea of the type of deal we're looking for. So far we've been doing a lot of surfing on sites like Zillow and Trulia, but have not come across anything particularly appealing. Does anyone have any suggestions, websites, or tips to find deals (especially in the Atlanta area)?

Thank you in advance. I have been reading the BiggerPockets forums for months and I look forward to becoming a value contributor to the community.

-Aaron

 Go to HUDHomeStore.com and get a $500 down, $500/month duplex and rent the other side out. House hack.

Hello BP community,

I have done some internet searching for REI groups near Atlanta and have skimmed over a few. Does anyone have any suggestions/know of any sold REI groups in the north metro area? I've also been trying to reach out to individual investors as well!

Thanks guys!

the Atlanta REI meets at the 5 seasons every Thursday in sandy springs at 1:30.

There's also a north metro REIA that meets near Barrett parkway and 92.

There are a lot of meet ups that happen up there too. I mean a ton.
