Hi @Angel Troupe and welcome to bigger pockets. I'm an investor and I wholesale properties in the Atlanta area. Happy to meet up with  you sometime if you like. Feel free to send me a message.

I am looking for an Atlanta Area Transaction Manager to help prepare my team's deals for closing. This is primarily an operational and logistics based role. There is no experience required and training will be provided. Your compensation will consist of a flat monthly fee ($500-$1000 based on experience) and an additional fee per successfully completed transaction ranging from $250 to $2500.

Hi @Peter Reyes and welcome to Bigger Pockets. I'm an investor here in  one of your targeted areas of Atlanta. I have some rental properties here but many of the cities you mentioned have good cash flow and appreciation potential. All that being said, you have a rental property in your old residence, why not get a rental near where you work since you think it's got potential for growth. Cheers! 

Hi @Pete McPherson and welcome to Bigger Pockets. Great community of investors here. Feel free to reach out to me if there's anything I can do to help. 

Jeff you can make it investing as complicated or as simple as you want to. I personally like to keep it simple. Talk to Sellers, listen to their problem, and then be a transaction engineer. Find a solution to their problem that also makes business sense for me. Overleveraged but great potential cash flow. Fine. I'll buy it subject to. Don't want to transfer title and deed? Fine. I'll do a sandwich lease option. Want more money on a monthly basis making no spread? Fine. I'll just do a regular lease purchase (but keep in mind only about 1/3 of those ultimately go through.

You can sit there and worry about your risks in the transaction or take action to move forward. If the house get's foreclosed on you lose the asset but it's actually a bigger risk to the Seller than it is to you. Also, it's not like a foreclosure happens overnight. They take time and in that process you can sell the hosue.  

Just like with doing deals in general, finding the truly motivated sellers is one of the hard parts of the business. Just get out there, market and move forward.

Hey @Jeff Schaefer look for creative deal structures. For example buy a property subject to the existing financing and rent it out. Voila: you have a rental property with very little cash out of pocket and potential cash flow. For bonus points, I'd recommend renting it out via a lease purchase to reduce the costs for maintenance and repairs. 

Thank you for the great advice @Mitch Messer @Anna Watkins and @Mark Graffagnino! 

Hi @Marco Mesa Frias and welcome to Bigger Pockets! It's such a great resource for new and seasoned investors alike. I'm not too far from you as I live in Dunwoody, own rental property in Norcross, and do deals throughout Gwinnett County. Feel free to reach out if you'd ever like to meet up or if there's anything I can do to help you. Cheers!
