Advice on West side of Atlanta

[Jose Cherian]

Hi Everyone, new to Bigger Pockets but very interested in getting involved in investing, especially down in the West End part of town. Anyone have any luck down there? Trying to decide whether to buy and hold a property, buy and flip or buy and hold a plot of land. Any thoughts/advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have been investing in the West End for 10 years. Due to the Beltline and a lot of publicity home prices are up 400% in that time frame. A patient investor can still make money. Most of the opportunities I see are flips as the yield on rentals are too low based on historic data.
