@Jason Allen thanks for the welcome, and for the advice, Jason!

@Bill Hampton got it. Thanks, Bill!

@Bill Hampton thanks, Bill! I will absolutely check that group out and join it. I was having trouble joining it in the Meetup app last night, but I will give it another try.

@Brenden Mitchum fantastic!  That honestly works perfectly for me.  Thanks for caring enough to respond to both of my posts, Brenden!

@Brenden Mitchum man, thank you so much!

That's awesome to read you're in the same boat as me.  Glad to know I'm not alone haha

Commercial multi-family is where I eventually want to end up as well; but for now, I'd rather get started with residential, and work towards commercial.

I'm hoping to stay as close to my current area (Sandy Springs) as possible. It's close to MARTA, which I take to work in Buckhead. Also, it's about the midway point between my girlfriend's house, and my sister's house. However, I'm not opposed to anywhere north, NE, or NW OTP. I need to start researching areas more in-depth though; because I'm still not very knowledgeable of the important factors in evaluating an area. For strategy, I plan on using an FHA loan. If I choose to purchase another house hack in the next couple of years, I'll refi out of it, and use an FHA loan for the next one, most likely.

How about you?  What strategy are you going for, and what area(s) are you looking in?

Siiick!  I mainly play Sea of Thieves, Rocket League, Smite, Diablo 3, and Overwatch.  What are your go-to games?  I

I'll absolutely take you up on that offer.  It would be great having someone to bounce things off of, and hopefully be able to help out in some way as well.

Thanks for responding!  Sending a connect request after I send this.  I look forward to talking with you some more!
 

Hi everyone! My name is Billy, and I am new to the REI landscape. I have been spending the last few months extensively watching podcasts, reading books, the BP forums, and practicing analyzing properties. My plan is to purchase a house hack this year to get started. I would like to begin investing in BRRRR properties soon thereafter. I moved to the Atlanta area 3 years ago, and plan on starting out here. But I would also like to start investing out-of-state as I gain more experience. I know "Detroit" seems to be a dirty word on the podcasts, and in some of the forums. But I was born and raised in metro-Detroit, and do plan on investing up in the Michigan area at some point.

On a personal note, my main hobbies are working out, playing guitar or drums, and occasionally hopping on Xbox Live to play with my brother and friends back home in the Mitten.

I am an introvert, but I do still enjoy meeting and talking to people.  Feel free to reach out to me if you actually find me interesting at all, and I will be more than happy to talk.  I know there is so much to learn, and I'm looking forward to meeting any of you on this journey!

Hi everyone, I have noticed that a lot of the meetups in my relative area (north of Atlanta), are at times and locations that unfortunately are not work schedule-friendly for me.  Are there some solid online meetups that you would recommend?  I plan on making as many in-person meetups as possible, because I realize these are very important.  But I also don't want to only be making one a month, because that's all I can get to.

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
