I'll be sure to incorporate that into my strategy moving forward. Thank you @Canesha Edwards!

 Thank you for the information @Canesha Edwards. I'm specifically looking to be a buy and hold investor. For my first property, I'm looking to do a house hack with a duplex. I've noticed (in my limited research) that Multi-Family properties are a little harder to come by in Atlanta. But I'm not married and don't have any children so good schools are not a priority for me. Would your advice change at all? 

TLDR: I'm new, say hi

Hello,

Just joined Bigger Pockets after listening to the podcast for a few months. I am brand new to real estate investing and looking to get started in the Atlanta, GA area. I don't personally have any friends or family who invest in Real Estate so I am hoping to connect with anyone that has current or past investments in the area.

Any tips on the area?

Any and all discussion would be appreciated!

My first post! 

I'm a newbie looking for my first deal. I just started reading The Ultimate Beginners' Guide to Real Estate Investing and I ran across the explanation of the Real Estate Market Cycle. My question is, where do you think the market cycle is for the Atlanta, GA area? I understand that every county/zip code can be different so if you want to go into a specific area, please do! 

Refresher:

The Peak: Prices are at an all-time high, inventory is down. Multiple offers are common, even above asking price

The Tipping Point: Prices begin to fall. Foreclosures begin rising

The Decline: Proces continue to fall, foreclosures flood the market. There is a fear of buying

The Bottom: Prices bottom out, there is excess inventory. Deals are plentiful and cash-flow is at an all-time high

The Climb: confidence improves leading to more sales. Declining inventory and rising prices.
