Newbie in the Metro-Atlanta Area

[Justin Cochran]

I currently work around 65-75 hours per work in a sales environment. While I do not have an abundance of time my wife works infrequently and would be able to help with generally managing a property. Have been a member of this community for a little over a year and with prices on single family homes (especially in the Metro-Atlanta area) I am struggling to find the right way to go about finding the right opportunity to start with. Really don't think house hacking is something we're open to, but I'm open to any suggestions on where to get started. Listening to my 3rd audio book from BiggerPockets now.

Anyone else out there that spends (or spent) most of their time at work find success with rental properties? What made you choose the time of property you did? If you could have redone it how would you go about it?

Is finding the type of market before networking the right order to do this in or should I go ahead and start talking to people in real estate/property management?

Thanks in advance for any feedback
