Atlanta- Neighborhoods

[Zee Mohammad]

I am trying to buy rental properties in Fulton County- but I don't know which neighborhoods are decent to do rentals in. There are pockets in atlanta that are good for buy and hold but I just don't know which neighborhoods. . I am looking for Class B and C neighborhoods, and not end up in bad neighborhood area. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you are doing SFR, Buford/Dacula/Lawrenceville is a good area in general. In the last decade Gwinnett County is leading population and employment growth in Atlanta Metro, a lot of people from other states are moving there. The schools are very attractive too.

The market is competitive though so it is a little hard to get good cash flow now. I bought my first single family rental in that area, and it is working ok. Because most homes are generally new, expense ratio should be low. I am starting to get 0 maintenance for my rental, but I would not count on that to last. I feel my property manager is just sitting there and collect her money while I collect mine:)
