Just Starting--Suwanee Georgia

[Nadine Hylton]

Good morning guys,

I am very new to REI. I live in the burbs of Atlanta and my husband and I would like to get started in REI anywhere in the Atlanta Metro. I am a practicing physician and my husband just got his real estate license and we want to get off to a good start. I realize that a license is not necessary for a lot of the investing deals, but we figured the knowledge cant hurt and we want to diversify our position in real estate, exploring many avenues. Unfortunately, we had a really bad business deal last year that wiped us out (don't do business with friends and family) so now we have to start over with little resources. I get the impression its best to start with wholesaling deals since we have little money. Is that true?

Real estate has always been an interest of ours, so this is the natural next step. I would love to connect with anyone working locally who is willing to share their knowledge and/or work with a newbie. So far, Ive gathered info about the local REIA groups and meetups, been reading this site and listening to the podcasts voraciously. We would love to find mentors (virtual or real life) to get us off onto a good start.

We live in South Forsyth county and are interested in properties to wholesale (anywhere in Atlanta Metro) and some l, lower cost rental units in forsyth, gwinnett or dekalb counties for long term investment. 

Any advice or guidance is much appreciated

Nadine
