I guess I'm still on the fence of where to invest next, and maybe I'm not looking hard enough yet but I can't seem to find many opportunities in Halifax that meet the "gross rent = at least 1% of purchase price" rule. Also I'm not crazy about the economics of Nova Scotia and Halifax in general right now, which leads me to the US.

I feel like a lot of the easy money has been made in the hot spots like Florida & Arizona, and maybe the same is true for Atlanta, but I do like the economics of Atlanta and the price range appears to fit my budget compared to some other places.

As always, I appreciate any & all insight & thoughts.

Hi all, just started listening to the podcasts & decided to join the site today. Looks like there's a ton of great information here. My name is Steven Darrow and I'm a relative newbie to real estate investing - I have one single family rental in Nova Scotia for the past 1.5 years but looking to enter the US market now, ideally Atlanta. My strategy is buy, rent & hold with a cash flow focus.

Hi, I'm a relative newbie from Canada thinking about trying to purchase an REO single family home in the Atlanta area as part of a buy-rent-hold strategy.

I'm just wondering what the Atlanta REO market is currently like - is everything receiving multiple bids now? or are there still deals to be had?

From what I've read on the site so far, it looks like my best option is to find a good broker who deals with REO's. Any thoughts on where to start?

Thanks
