I’m moving to Atlanta in a few months and would like to connect with anyone who’s experienced or just starting out in the world of real estate investing. I feel like this platform is a great place to network and I would love to get different perspectives, find potential lenders, and even build a team. This is a new adventure for me and I am eager to begin and connect with many others!

Sincerely,

Hi All,

I’m looking forward to moving to Atlanta next year in June. For those of you who do Real Estate in Georgia, how is the market over there? Is investing in Single Family Homes for rental income better in in Atlanta or surrounding towns like Decatur? Looking for any input, not just for Single Family Homes. Thanks! - Native New Yorker

Hi All,

What are your thoughts on deed investing? -when you take over the payments on someone’s mortgage for them while you take ownership of their home. Any pros and cons about this?

@Javon Wilson. In Atlanta, I'd buy a duplex. Triplexes are very rare. Also, I'd emphasize location and square footage over units. Your ability to find tenants will depend on the location and space.

My first house was a 5BR house hack. I lived for free.

Hey Rick, thanks! Hows the investment opportunities in Decatur? Thats a city I’m actually heavily considering as well.

Hi @Javon Wilson, with the current interest rates it is hard to househack with a duplex. Triplexes perform better numbers wise. And the more doors you have the better. Where is NY are you looking to buy?

Hi Ecaterina, thank you for your input. Im actually moving to Atlanta Georgia and I plan on starting my investment career there in a few months!

Hi Investing Community,

I plan on househacking after i finish living in an apartment. I know the situation varies from person to person, but would you rather buy a duplex or triplex for your first deal and why?

Hi All,

One of my biggest goals in life is to achieve financial independence and escape the 9-5 grind. For those who have accomplished this, how long did it take you to reach that point in your life through Real Estate Rental investing? Also, how did you know it was time to quit? Was it the sufficient cash flow to live with for you to sustain a better lifestyle?

I would like to know the pros and cons of choosing either one. Which loan would you prefer to use to fund your deals and why?

Hi All—

Im looking to hear some insight from investors who have done this for awhile. If I can also learn from some mistakes, that would be greatly appreciated!

I think one item that is greatly overlooked is building your network. There is the typical struggle of money vs asset and which one comes first etc. but if you have the $ then you can find the assets. To me building a strong network of people around you - not only deal flow but attorneys, vendors etc. The smarter the people around you the smarter you will be. A spin off of this is making sure you know your limits to start but also not thinking small, think big. Sometimes when you think small it can severaly stunt your growth.

Thank you Chris! Networking is something I have to continue working on. Consistently going out and meeting people I hear is fundamental to anyone’s success in real estate.
