Post: 20k to invest in the Atlanta area

Hello Everyone,

As the title states I have 20-30k I would like to invest into real estate in the Atlanta area. I felt the best tactic with my amount would be to flip or BRRRR a small single family home.I'm not having the best luck finding homes in my 200k all in buy box (hard money is 10% down) due to the surging market. Any suggestions on locations I can look into?Thanks to anyone that can help.

P.S. My ultimate goal is to aquire multifamily and rent to traveling healthcare professionals.

I wonder how that works with TAx liens  do the mortgage survive until the right of redemption is over or a quiet title action ?

but it would be easy enough to pull  An encumbrance report on it from a national title company and figure that out.

@John Underwood   John is in your neck of the woods and from what I have gleaned from his posts these are deals he knows and understands maybe he would help you understand your risk/reward scenario here.

 I would get a title search completed so you know of there are any issues. If the tax deed is issued and the county noticed everyone property. Then any mortgage is wiped out.

I would absolutely buy this for cash with a Quit Claim deed after checking the title report. The. I wouldn't worry about the Quiet title if your just going to rent it.

its kind of like buying a car with a salvage title..  it still drives but the value is less.. 

Understood. I was not trying to flip, it is across the street from 2 hospitals and I wanted to keep it as a STR for travel nurses. It needs a complete rehab. My thought process was worst case scenario the land would be worth 9k if I had to demo the house.

 I'd buy it immediately once I knew what the title search looked like. I'd get it under contract today with a couple of contingencies. Heck see if they will take 7500 cash for it.

Waiting to hear back from the lawyer about the title situation as I type this. I was initially 6k but someone drove the price up.

@Adrian Wooten I assume this is a private party sale for a property that was purchased at tax auction? My recommendation would be to offer them 15k for a contract to purchase it once they have finalized the Quiet Title action. That will take approximately 6 months providing the 365 day holding period has passed. You will then have a property that can be held or flipped and is insurable and bankable. As it is, it’s a wooden nickel.

Wishing you the best.

It was aquired from an auction then sold to the current seller.It was listed on the MLS.

Thank you so much

Hello BP Georgia,

I am debating on putting an offer on a duplex that for a buy an hold investment. The property is an extremely low price (9k) due to it being a tax lien auction purchase and is not eligible for title insurance. I still think it will be an incredible deal since it is situated right next to 2 hospitals. I am aware a quiet title would have to be done but is there anything else I should be worried about?

Post: This property was my first BRRRR investment.
