 Hi Beth, 

I’d actually love to hear more about that Medlock Park deal. I ended up buying in N Decatur for the first HouseHack and looking to create an MTR/House Hack in Medlock park next. I absolutely love that area and I think there’s some nice opportunity for travel nurses in a finished basement unit, being that that area is so close to Emory and a handful of other hospitals.

Hi! Just wanted to circle back on this to see if you guys ever got together? Would love to partake in a group like this as well, or to create one!

Hi! I’m currently a house hacker in the Atlanta market, employing a rent by room strategy. There is a high likelihood that I will be moving to Austin (for work) later this year with my girlfriend and I would love to continue house hacking with her, although I do realize there are many differences between the ATL and ATX market, namely price and investor activity.

Is anyone currently Househacking small MFU in Austin, a SFH with separate living space or something of the like? What are some of the growing areas in the path of progress that you're noticing?

@Chintan Parikh interested

@Evan Yates

Welcome to Atlanta BP! I’m also a new RE investor looking to close on my first house hack. I’d love to connect if you have any questions!

@Keith Liescheski

Good morning Keith!

I’m a new Atlanta investor as well, welcome to the area! I’d love to connect!

@Vincent Crane very excited for this event and to meet other REIs in the Atlanta area!

I'm also beginning my HH journey in Atlanta, following this exact plan. I'm looking in the Southern DeKalb County area (south and East of Decatur/ELT/Scottdale) as well as SFH along the new Westside Beltline trail, near the new Reservoir Park.

Specifically I'm looking for SFHs with finished basements and 2/3 bedrooms upstairs to rent by room or to a family. Which areas are you looking into?
