looking forward to this one. See everyone there.

Thanks  to everyone who responded! There is definitely some really good  information and advice that I will be using from all of this. I'm trying to stay open minded since this is my first rodeo, so budget wise I wouldn't mind spending 150k on a quality property that I can get a good return on and have some good cash flow. I also wouldn't Mind getting something for less and having to do minor updates or repair, but I will want to avoid anything major. My comfort areas are north west of Atlanta and up 400. Just because I know know these areas, with my day job it's hard to get down to areas like Decatur or west Atlanta to get a feel of the neighborhoods.

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to BP and actively searching for my first rental property now. But I'm running into the situation where pretty much all of the properties that have been shown to me by real estate agents look over priced and in sketchy areas. 

I'm located in the Atlanta area and plan on investing locally first. I was hoping someone could show me some photos of the properties they have invested in (recently & in the same area) and how much spent to give me a better idea of what I should Be looking for for my price range (which I'm open to suggestion as well).

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I start my investing portfolio! Thanks!
