Connecting with Investors/Landlords in ATL

[Chris Shon]

Hello BP Community!

My business partner and I are looking to invest in single-family homes and duplexes in and around Atlanta. We're based out of California, but have a solid team in Atlanta, including a contractor and realtor.

Due to the distance, we've had some challenges with in-person meetups. So, we're trying to find other ways to connect with people who are active in the city. 

I'm already part of a few Facebook groups, but I'm also open to chatting or catching up over a phone call. Any advice or insights about the city would be greatly appreciated. I'm here to learn as much as I can.

Thanks in advance for any tips or introductions you can provide. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hey I sent you a message. Might have something for you.

Hey Chris! 

I just moved to the Woodland Hills area and am an experienced real estate investor. I grew up in Memphis where I own 4 long-term rentals that are SFHs. I know the city inside out and lived there for 20 years, visiting regularly. I most recently lived in Atlanta for 10 years where I have one Airbnb and long-term rental that are both SFHs. I also own a 5 unit apartment in Cleveland which I manage with a partner. My last real estate transaction was being a GP in a 144-unit apartment syndication in St. Louis raising $500k for the project. I'm looking to connect with like-minded investors and can help with the neighborhoods of ATL. I've lived in Inman Park, Old 4th Ward, Buckhead Chamblee, and Sandy Springs. Please let me know if I can help out!

Thats great! What's Atlanta like for having a rental portfolio? I hear it compared to Memphis on occasion and wonder what the similarities are?

 Hey Jordan,

Memphis and Atlanta are vastly different in my opinion. Atlanta has a thriving tech scene in Buckhead which brings a lot of jobs to the city. The last time I was there in May I counted around 20 cranes in Midtown alone. Midtown, Downtown, Buckhead, and surrounding areas like Chamblee and Brookhaven have exploded in the last decade. Atlanta has many walkable communities and dozens of boutique restaurants centered around new construction apartments. The only way I can see Memphis and Atlanta having similarities is probably in the south side of Atlanta (nearby Hartsfield Jackson). I think the average home sale price in Shelby County is ~$220k and the Greater Atlanta Area encompasses 3 counties; Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb County. In Fulton Co. alone, the average home price is almost ~$430k. Would be happy to chat in more detail if this was helpful!

Hi @Chris Shon - I'm also a real estate investor based in CA, but currently building out a portfolio in Atl (currently just closed my first deal and planning on more to come). Would love to connect!
