newbie here - possible to find a deal with minimal rehab?

[Krystle Jiang]

Hi everyone! I want to get into the game, but I'm highly risk averse and afraid of biting off too more than I can chew for a first deal. Do y'all think it's realistic to try to find a SFR that does not require a lot of rehab to cash flow? Seems like this might be challenging to make the numbers work with a long term rental, so I'm thinking short term rental. Want to do some quick aesthetic work but not much more. Thoughts on if this is a viable newbie strategy? Ideally in ATL area
