Looking into the Atlanta and surround areas for SFR

[Karena Wong]

Hello fellow BP'ers, 

Newbie here. 

I'm planning to visit Atlanta, GA the last week of July with my boyfriend to look at different neighborhoods and surrounding cities for SFR-4plex investment. Although my real estate agent friend tells me I am probably 4-5 years late to the game to be investing in Atlanta, I still think it has the fundamentals that make it a stable investing market. It's still a major travel hub, has great schools, and a stable economy.

What areas do you think are best for investing? We want stable class B or A neighborhoods w/ great schools, and low crime, to be hands off as we are from New York City (so would need turnkey or a great team w/ realtor and property management). I am reading good things about Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs.

We'll also be making a stop in Savannah for a few days. And why not look at REI while we are there? Any suggestions in terms of Savannah GA?

Also best food suggestions? Yelp is not always so reliable in certain areas. :)

Thanks much!
