thanks @Michaela G.

Hey Michaela G. If you don't mind clarifying, what's the difficulty of Pittsburg? I was actually going to drive around the neighborhood today... I know the belt line is suppose to be coming through the area and ga state purchased Turner Field. I would think development is coming?...

Good morning, Looking to do some rehabs in the Atlanta area. Can anybody recommend some good general contractors in the Atlanta area? Also looking for some plumbers, electricians, hvac contractors as well.

Thanks everybody for the advice @Andrew Johnson, @Thomas S.. I needed the reassurance and some other perspectives on how to handle this.  Just wanted to give you an update that somebody came in with all cash offer on the house. I'm assuming they didn't view the property either. Guess it wasn't meant to be, but I am still actively looking.

Thanks again everyone.

Hey, I have a question for the seasoned investors on here. I am looking to purchase my first investment property in an upcoming area. They have been trying to sell the house now for quite some time, but just recently put it back on the market. The way properties are going in this area, its a hot market. I have to be aggressive in order to have a chance at getting a property. I decided to put an offer in on the property. The only caveat is the seller is going through an eviction for both sides (duplex) so I can't see what shape the property is in. I've lost out on a couple deals trying to wait and see the property. We put in our clause that we won't start the due diligence until the seller has gained control back over the property. Looking for some advice - is the a smart move on my part or rookie mistake? Do I need to be aware of any other potential issues? At worse case scenario I lose out on my home inspection fee during the due diligence and I back out if it is to much to bare but I'm going with my gut on this. I know nothing about the house except the numbers look good. I'm pretty sure with evicted tenants there is going to be some issues that the typical renter would not neglect.

Thanks for this information @Dan Mahoney!! I've been doing some research into this as well. Good to compare notes and learn some new methods! 

Hi Jesse LeBlanc, I'm interested. I'm over by Dekalb Farmers Market....I'm currently looking into multi family properties to purchase and owner occupy.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of looking for some investment property to house hack and it seems Fulton county is the best area for me. I work in Dekalb county but can not found a decent quad in the area to save my life! Im hoping to find something in Fulton because the area is so big and yet so close to Dekalb and still fit my price range.

Hey is this still available?
