Moving to Athens - Looking for RE Agents and Investing advices

[Hieu Bui]

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently based in Norcross but will move to Athens in September. I'm planning to purchase my first rental property/house hack there. I'm looking forward to connecting with RE agents/investors/contractors/PM in the area! I have about $58k in cash and was pre-approved for $300k conventional loan.

Right now I'm really looking for an investor-friendly agent who can help me find/bid on deals. Anyone who has recommendations please feel free to let me know!

My strategy is to buy a duplex in $100k range and live in 1 unit. Or buy a 3/1 SFH and rented out a room. There're recently a few duplexes that on sale for around 110k on the East side, which on paper the CoC ROI turns out to be 8-10%, not too bad?

Is there any neighborhood/part of town that I absolutely need to avoid?

Thank you all!!!
