 No problem. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further. I actively invest in those areas mentioned 

HI @Ajibola Talabi

I am an investor friendly realtor and investor in Atlanta, and i have recently helped three FHA clients secure homes within the last 4 months. If you are able to go the conventional 5% down route, in this market that would be more favorable in the sellers eyes, however FHA's are still viable.

With the FHA's that we have been successful with, we have had to go over asking and provide a shortened due diligence period (i.e. 3 days) but we have been successful.

The last 2 years of work history is critical 

Hi @Antonio Cordova

You are taking the correct first step, which is connecting with other investors on the biggest real estate forum in the world! Atlanta is a solid market with diveristy of jobs and growing population. I currently own 2 short term rentals, manage an additional 6 (8 total) , in atlanta and surrounding counties, would be more than happy to connect to discuss neighborhoods and potentially set up your first visit to ride along. 

 100% agreed on the pricing piece here. I work with a flipper in atlanta and we had this conversation on a property that is scheduled to close/sell next friday. We were looking for mid 300's, but i convinced her we should list for 325. Multiple offers over asking, bidding war, and we got to the number we had in mind with minimal contingencies. 

Better to list reasonably and allow the market competition to drive the price up 

Hi @Abdul M.

I would not rule out metro atlanta or close surrounding cities (i.e. Marietta, Decatur, East Point, Hapeville, Riverdale, etc.). While the "Long Term Rental" numbers may not work, short term rentals are alive and well, and the metro atlanta/close neighboring cities are continuing to appreciate rapidly as more and more individuals and companies move down this way. 

Just my thoughts. Unfortunately i am not as familiar with the areas you mentioned. 

 Thank you @Darrion P. 

@Joanne Adrien - happy to help/discuss live, i just sent a private message your way 

 Hi Chirag, 

My apologies on the delay, will message you now 

Financial Freedom Mastermind Group for those that do not believe they were put on this earth to work 40 to 50 hours per week for 40 to 50 years, to hopefully retire at the age of 65. This group is focused on helping each other learn about different types of investments that can accelerate the timeline for achieving financial freedom.

@Scot Evans I agree with alot of the comments above. I am a realtor and investor in the Atlanta Metro area, and what i've been doing is a combination of 3 strategies. 

I have been working with my partner to BRRR homes and then rent them out on Airbnb for at least 1 year. As you know Atlanta has a myriad of fortune 500 companies based here and a signifcant amount of people moving here everyday. This strategy (if done correctly) will allow you to add value to a home, pull most of your capital back out, get some income generated via airbnb for a year, and then recoup the rest of your capital through a sell 12 months later. You will also pay less in taxes if held for 1 year.

@Trevone Williams

I will PM you now
