Hi!  My name is Jacob Allen, I'm a new (or rather, hopeful) investor trying to get involved in real estate.  I'm looking to get my feet wet and get some experience before jumping all in!

Does anyone know of any meet up groups in the Bartow County or Cherokee County areas?  I'm looking specifically to invest in the Cartersville and Canton areas.  If a group does not exist, any group that is in the North Atlanta Metropolitan area would be appreciated!

Been travelling for a few months, but I'm back and can't wait to attend the next meeting!

Looking forward to attending!

Hi, here is my situation:

I am new to real estate and looking to buy my first property.  I am also military and have been given orders to deploy sometime around October 2018.

I was speaking with the bank's lenders about loan options and was presented with this option from one of the banks:

I could get a loan and purchase the house as if I were a first-time home-buyer (I am) as a primary residence, and I could then rent it out while I'm deployed (my deployment is 12-months).  Even though I would purchase this house and rent it out within the typical 12-month time-frame for "home-hacking", the bank says this is fine because of my military status and deployment orders; and the bank will give me the loan at the same conditions as if this were my first-time home for a primary residence.

Has anyone had experience with this and have any advice on this situation?  Also does anyone know any good property managers in the North Atlanta area?

Hi everyone, my name is Jacob Allen, and I'm new to the real estate investment process.  I'm in the Atlanta area and am looking to invest in the suburbs and towns north of Atlanta.  I'm specifically looking at Cartersville, Canton, and Ball Ground, GA.  Looking to find advice and other investors in the area to bounce ideas off of!  I can't wait to hear from you!
