Trying to figure out investing in Atlanta

[Josh Stralko]

Hey everyone,

First and foremost, thanks in advance for any insight that you can provide.  I'm just starting down my investment journey (I have been a part of quite a few deals in my original home state, but now I'm going out on my own). I am trying to get a good grasp on the market and started out with my team (Lender, Agent, PM, and Contractors) but in finding an ability to do BRRRRs here or converting properties, I noticed it to be very difficult due to some of the zoning (All of the zoning) limitations that are here.

I am currently struggling to find properties that cash flow positive pretty consistently (From a duplex-fourplex perspective) and even if I look at living in it personally, it can easily still be "cutting it close".

I noticed that most agents are focused on appreciation here (even the investment minded RE Agents) and were curious if anyone had any stories they might be able to share or some suggestions/learnings from being in the greater ATL market.

All the best,

J
