Buying a home as an investment in Pittsburg Atlanta?

[Tawny Uzzi]

Hello all, this is my first post. 

I am currently attending Med school at Emory, and and looking for a home to live in until I finish residency. 

My husband and I would like something that we can invest in and have been looking at homes in the Pittsburg, Atlanta neighborhood, but the prices seem pretty high for the area. 200k+ For homes near the Beltline. 

Does this seem like a smart investment? Our budget is 275k but we are looking to stay on the lower end of it while still being in the perimeter. Are there any other areas with good options? It seems like we are priced out of the Aidair Park neighborhood a block or so over from the houses that we are looking at. 

Thank you for your help/advice.
