MY SUPER BEGINNER ATLANTA INVSTMENT TRIP PLAY BY PLAY

[Michael C.]

I'm Starting late but I thought I'd breakdown my actions play by so people can see what I'm doing.  I'm in the middle of a trip to Atlanta to learn the neighborhoods and possibly find a property to purchase.  I'm sure some of you guys will take issue with some of my writings but let's try and keep it civil folks. I'll start retroactively.

7/30/17

  11pm:  I arive to the airport and begin drinking immediately.  Must prepare for the trip of a lifetime appropriately. 

7/31/17

12:45 am:

We have boarded the plane and its obvious my drinking strategy has worked perfectly I'm ready to pass out even though a sneaky standby passenger snagged the center seat I purposely bought around.

12:59am: Wheels Up.....night night

8:03ish am(eastern time):

We touch down at Hartsfield-Jackson

8:45am: I board the MARTA which picks up right next to baggage claim.  Leaving the airport with MARTA was the smoothest  transportation I've had with an airport.  ATL has it figured out.

9:30am: arrive Buckhead station

9:45am: After a short walk I'm at my rental car place. Why did I rent my car in Buckhead and not at ATL?  Because it saved me 80 bucks and I'm not making RE money yet.

10:30am:  Arrive at RE agent's office(from BP).  We talk for a while and I try and clarify what I'm looking for but I realize I need to find that out

11:15am:  Get on computer and start identify target neighborhoods and properties while I have some food.  Also have a short phone chat with my financing lady.

Noon: Head out to do drive-bys(not that kind).  Over the course of 3 hours I saw 4 properties in 3 neighborhoods.  This was my best decision of the day.  Seeing the vibe of the neighborhood and surrounding amenities gave me a much stronger feeling of confidence in the assumptions I was making on properties.

3pm:  Head to cookout to get a $5combo meal. That sh*t is delicious and I dont care what you think.

3:30pm   Head to where I'm staying to get back on computer.  Gave a girl I saw in traffic my number.  She won't call.

4pm:  Back on computer.

5:30pm:  Start watching Indiana Jones temple of doom.  Turns into a marathon.(still reading on computer while watching).

10pm: Head to store and pick up six pack of Lagunitas IPA.  While in the gas station I discovered that they sell BOILED PEANUTS!!! I'd never seen this on any of my previous trips.  Sh*ts weird but I tasted one and it wasn't terrible. Weird thing to do though to me, no offense

10:58pm  Finished writing this and my 3rd beer.  I have 3 to go so I will continue and update this tomorrow.  I have so more leads to check on.  Girl hasn't called btw
