First Deal - Decatur GA Duplex (Need Advice)
Hello BP Community,
I have my first property under contract. It's in a good neighborhood in Decatur (30032). It's in a highly appreciating area but from the inspection we got bad news that the electrical needs to be fixed which got quoted at $5,000-$7,000 that I wasn't expecting to do. It's now a bit below my desirable COCROI but I feel it has a lot of potential for appreciation over the next couple years with the neighborhood trending towards a B from a C+. My due diligence ends tonight 9pm PST so I'm looking for some final thoughts if I should stick with the deal or leave it behind.
