How do you find out about what's coming so you can buy wisely?

[Andrew Kim]

I had a friend that just purchased in Bankhead Atlanta, which is a rough area, but eventually will turn (not soon though) He said the guy who sold him the house rolled up in a Maserati, with face tats and all.  The guy said, I was down in city hall, heard some initiative was coming to Bankhead, and bought up all the houses on this street.  He made a killing.

So the question is, where do you go to find out this info? I imagine the internet is limited.  What part of city hall do you go to? Also, where else do you go to get this insider info? Thanks!
