Hello, 

Looking to connect with Realtors, investors in and around Atlanta and Suburbs to understand neighborhoods that would be good for fix and flip.

Hi @Rita Samaddar

I recommend areas based on three things:

  1. Budget: Knowing your cash to close helps me suggest the best areas, especially if you're using a hard money loan.
  2. Rehab Level: Whether you prefer low or major rehab impacts the neighborhoods I'll recommend.
  3. Market Dynamics: Areas with minimal days on market are ideal, as they predict how quickly your property will sell post-rehab.

In conclusion, start with how much you have to work with and the level of rehab you're comfortable with to find the best areas for fix and flip.

    Atlanta has a high entry point and the antiquated houses that will make for those great investments with the 150K+ deal spreads are largely controlled by the wholesalers.  Not to mention you are looking at the 200k+ entry and at that entry a deal close to close may run you 75k+.

    What neighborhoods do you see with the lowest days to market?
