Location to start my adventure? (Metro Atlanta)

[Brian Tesmer]

Hello BP World!

I am a novice investor just starting my business here in metro Atlanta. I am in the process of trying to pinpoint my farm area and was hoping for a little local insight. I have been interested in two separate locations, and while I'm sure none of you savvy investors want another guy preying in the same woods as you are, I'm hoping someone will be gracious enough to share their opinion. I like the Smyrna area, because of the obvious reasons. The Braves stadium moving there, the mall being rejuvenated, new restaurants popping up. Is there still reasonable deals to be had in the area? Is there any negatives to investing here? I also like Chamblee, because the new mixed use development/movie studio that is slated to go in where the GM plant used to be. My fear there is that it is too early for the area. Thoughts, pointers, insight? I live in Midtown so one area is directly up 75 and the other is directly up 85 about equal distance from me, so the drive doesn't concern me either way. I really appreciate any feedback that you all can come up with! Have a great day!
