2020 House hacking in Atlanta??

[Christopher Johnson]

Greetings BiggerPocket Community,

I am looking for someone in the Atlanta area with experience who can sorta mentor/guide me. I am a 26 year old recent college graduate. I work in IT and have a stable career. I have decent credit and have been saving for quite sometime.

I know these times aren’t the best in terms of renting out space with this virus getting worse but I’m thinking about my future in terms of retirement. Should I hold off on purchasing my first investment property. Should I find a condo in a good location? What are good areas in Atlanta to buy right now?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you all again!

Respectfully,

Kristopher J.

I agree with @Brenden Mitchum and @John Lyszczyk about house hacking. Brendan was spot on about going for a SF with a guest house. I'm currently under contract for a SF with a 2/2 guest house I plan to house hack. A 2-4 unit would also work but they are pretty tough to come by here. That being said, don't tell yourself no. You may get lucky.
