Atlanta Rookie checking in

[Herman Ryals]

Hi All!

Just joined the BP community today and wanted to say hello. I was born and raised in Atlanta and graduated from Georgia Tech last spring. I am temporarily living out in Arizona until the end of the year, but as soon as I get back I am looking to purchase my first residence. I have rented before, but never purchased a house. 

My goal is to get a second, investment property as soon as possible, once I have my residency nailed down. I know the Atlanta area very well and have spent many hours scouring Zillow for possible investments, but I am still a long way from closing on anything. I am currently reading The Book On Flipping Houses by J Scott and trying to learn as much as I can before I get back and start taking action, which is what brought me here to you guys. 

I would love to talk to fellow Atlanta investors, especially when I return to town. I hope I am not breaking the rules by offering to buy lunch or coffee for a friendly meet up. Please let me know if I am out of line. Cheers.
