Where to invest in/around Atlanta for under 150K?
Hello all,
I am an out of state investor and I am interested in buy and hold properties with a focus on cashflow in the Atlanta area. I am looking into sfh and duplexes. Being out of state I want as little headache as possible so I want properties in areas that would attract good tenants. So I am focused on B/B- neighborhoods. I would like to stay under 150K and have rents at or close to the 1% rue. So my question is: where should I look or focus on to meet this criteria? I've done some research on Stone Mountain and Decatur. Are there other areas that would meet my criteria?

Hey @Kevin Charles
If you're looking to stay in Metro Atlanta, 150k or less at 1% is difficult (though not impossible).
The areas mentioned (stone mountain, union city, and douglasville) are all great cash-flowing areas, though you shouldn't expect the type of appreciation you may get in the next hot Atlanta neighborhood.
Be careful about labeling an entire neighborhood in Metro Atlanta by a grade. Homes, renters, and crime change drastically block to block and even street to street. You need to have boots on the ground to give you intel.
I think the Tri-Cities have a bright outlook. I am under currently under contract with a client for a duplex in Hapeville at $135,000. It will rent for at least $700 each side.
PM me if you'd like more info.
