We recently learned that a corner duplex on our street may be coming up for sale.

Sometimes new lenders can be more aggressive as they are wanting to grow and gain more clients.

With so many free or low-cost options available — from Facebook groups to podcasts, Zoom meetups, and national conferences with better content — local REIAs can feel outdated unless they’ve kept up.I think they still can be valuable if they bring together serious, local investors and provide actionable education — but if it’s just pitch-fests or surface-level material, I’d rather spend my time elsewhere.

Note the packers waitlist is estimated to be between 30 and 50 years. 

You also need to understand how many units or vehicles you're allowed to place and what codes apply.RV pads might feel like a last resort, but if zoning supports it, that could be your quickest path to cash flow.

If you will be moving in a few years, then you are better off renting. 

Unnecessary might be a better way to describe them.

If you do decide to go that route, make sure you're underwriting the deal with the HELOC interest and repayment terms factored in, and build in extra margin for delays or cost overruns.There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but my advice would be to treat your first deal like a training ground.

Would anyone be able to help me on joining one for the ATL market? 

Thanks for sharing your situation, it's totally understandable, especially with your home being your primary residence.
