What are the differences between Fulton County and DeKalb County

[Raushanah Morgan]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to BP and just starting my real estate journey. I am moving to Atlanta and would like to start investing in the Atlanta metro area. In my research I found that the city of Atlanta is made up of two counties: Fulton and DeKalb. When looking for a primary residence and investment properties what are the main differences that I should consider? For example, are their differences in policies guiding property taxes? Is the development/redevelopment landscape different? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
