Out of State Newbie Investing in Atlanta

[John Hart]

Hi, I'm looking for feedback on the Atlanta neighborhoods south of downtown like Joyland, High Point, S. Atlanta, etc. I hear the Pittsburgh Yards & South Beltline projects are underway and have the potential to change / enhance the areas... Are these good areas to buy & hold for cash flow now + appreciation (potentially) later? I'm seeing the 1% rule now on rentals, but being that I'm out of state and this would be my first SFR am not 100% sure what these areas are like and what I'd be getting into. Any thoughts / feedback would be greatly appreciated.
