Moving to Atlanta at the end of the month. Need a place to stay!

[Sergiu Ionita]

Hi BP. I'm Looking for 2/2 or 2/1 unit. My wife and I are planning to move from Portland to Atlanta/suburbs at the end of this month and need a place to live. I have not found a job there yet, but have really good job history as a CNC Machine Operator and Precision Lead. Finding a place to live there has become my #1 priority. I have a large amount of cash saved up that will buy me time to find a job. I also own and manage a Duplex here in Portland that provides $750/mo net income. If you are a commercial property owner in need of an onsite maintenance guy, I have handyman experience. I renovated both duplex units inside. I painted, installed laminate, tiles, fixtures, plumbing etc...

I have no pets and don't smoke.

What I would strongly recommend - since you are new to the area, and the fact that you don't know real traffic until you visit Atlanta!!!  I would suggest you stay for at least a week in an Extnded Stay hotel- or similar hotel close to at least one of the interstates. Since you don't know where you will be working, a signed lease on an apartment in an area with crazy traffic will not be an efficient move! Besides, these hotels have the kitchen so you're not eating out three times per day while looking for work. It will allow you time to catch your breath after a long move, learn the area, figure out the roads, etc, and learn where it's best to live for your commute, schools (if needed) etc. There are a ton of these extended stay hotels - from all the major hotel names, along all the major roads.
