House Hack in Atlanta, GA

[Cameron Turley]

Hey all, is anyone currently house hacking in Atlanta, GA? Looking to do this strategy as I'm a first time home buyer and thought it'd be the best way to learn the ways of being a land lord. A couple main questions here:

1. How did you find your property? There are some on market now that could work for what I'll try to do medium term rental wise (in law suite/basement), but there's isn't a bunch. I'd like to have the option to some off market ones, but I'm not too experienced with how I'll have to do that since I'm not a cash buyer. Is it impossible to team up with a wholesaler who could find you a deal that you could finance? I know it kind of goes against their whole model, but just curious. 

2. Is anyone doing medium term currently around the Sandy Springs/Marietta area? Would love to connect and learn the ups and downs of it. 

I'd appreciate any help or guidance. Thanks all!
