Hi Allen, 

My advice would be to use OPM if/when it makes fiscal sense...and whenever possible; based on ROI v/s DTV. My philosophy is it "almost always" makes sense... Of course the ROI on your $$ must be more than your cost to borrow. That's a pretty loose formula, but it usually works for me. In other words...if it costs you too much to use OPM, then if/when possible, use your own funds. That's a better use of resources.

Welcome Xavier! This is one of the most knowledgeable and one of the friendliest online groups you will find anywhere. Take your time to learn. Ask questions, watch the podcasts, read the blogs; and learn, learn, learn. Education and the ability to apply it...is key.

@Kurt Core,

Welcome, Kurt! 1st of all, "thank you for your service to our country"! Secondly, I have 2 military daughters, who both making an awesome career for themselves. My oldest daughter is also military, went from blue to green; and is now engaged to a fellow airman. They are stationed @ Clover, New Mexico.

Interesting you should mention "learning what Australia and New Zealand are about"! You are wise beyond your years, my friend. I am impressed, and you should be very proud of yourself. Congrats for being forward thinking. You will undoubtedly, be successful! At any rate, I'm interested to know what your comment means actually. The reason I ask is that I'm now taking a class on how their credit systems work. They're doing things financially, that we could be doing more intelligently in this country, if we were better educated; but the US "powers that be" don't seem to want us to do it the "smart way". (No conspiracy theory, just idle chat). At any rate, interesting...none the less.

Again, welcome to BP! You will find a wealth of education here!

@Leandro Abreu...Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Wow! You just jump right in the deep end, head first, huh?! I like it! 

Seriously, I believe Azeez answered your questions adequately. He mentioned "The Beltline". I'm sure you're aware that this is the largest urban redevelopment project in the nation. I took "The Beltline Tour" a couple weeks ago, and our tour guide lives and works in that area (Ansley Park, I believe). I don't know anything about his work, but he was an awesome tour guide. It was great to see the project from a realtor's perspective. He's the only realtor I know who specializes in that particular area, and is well versed on it. His name is Derek, and his company is The Beltline Team. If you contact him, do let him know I referred you. 

I'd like to add: I working with the largest wholesaling company in the SE region. We are direct to the seller, and have tons of off-market properties and lots in that area. As I'm sure you are also aware, approx 93-95% +/- of all properties for sale aren't listed on the MLS. They are off-market. That is where you pick up the good deals. If I can be of any assistance, give me a shout. I'd be glad to help.

Hello,

I am a wholesaler in Atlanta and Jacksonville...and I have some good contacts in both cities. Try www.trustdale.com. They have lists of qualified service providers of all types in the Atlanta area, and their services are free.

 Let me know what you need, and I'll see if I can help you out.

Sorry, I just copied and pasted the original flyer; and the one time I failed to proof... (I know better than that!) :-(

At any rate, it's a 4/2.

Thanks for pointing out the correction
