Georgia Tech ATL, am I making a terrible mistake?

[Kyle Meadors]

Hey gang, I am a would-be, turned soon-to-be first time investor, and I'm about to move forward on a property right in the shadow of Georgia tech. it's a small duplex, 1br/1ba each, one of those smaller homes nearby. asking price is 250,000. condition is ok. I've run some numbers, and my realtor is going to run some more with me, but I wanted to see what other Atlanta Investors might tell me? is there something I should know about the area? I'm nervous, but excited, so let me know what you think!
