Northwest Atlanta Real Estate

[Davis Culpepper]

Hello everyone,

I have been analyzing the Northwest Atlanta real estate market for the past several months. More specifically: Marietta, Smyrna, Mableton. I’m finding some deal opportunities in these areas that make me feel comfortable with potentially house hacking; however, I’m also hearing a lot of noise about the West side of Atlanta and how it is the place to invest due to the future growth potential.

I would like to get my feet wet as soon as possible, but I’m having trouble deciding whether or not Northwest Atlanta is the right place for me to invest. I believe that the Cumberland/Vinings area is growing, and that the surrounding areas could experience solid growth in the years to come, but I’m worried that these areas are too far from the fast growing Beltline areas and all of the other up and coming “hip” areas in Atlanta. If anyone has any guidance or knowledge regarding the projected future of the Northwest Atlanta market, I’d love to discuss.

I also love talking real estate in general, so I’m happy to listen and learn from anyone who loves talking real estate — especially the Atlanta market. I’m still pretty new to real estate, but I have some ideas that I’d love to share with those investing in the Atlanta market.

Thanks and good luck to all!

@Davis Culpepper Those are two wildly different markets with different plays. Ignore the noise and figure out what is best for you. What's an investment you can afford, can manage, has your desired return and is something you want to put your name on?

If you asked 100 successful real estate investors what their key to success was you would get 100 different responses. Don't get caught in the noise trying to chase the golden ticket.
