@Danny Kay From what I have heard, the City of Atlanta is much more lenient when you leave the front of the house alone.  I have seen instances where they kept the front porch and most of the footprint of the first floor, popped the top and almost doubled the sqft, and claimed it went right through permitting as a renovation.

Hi everyone-

I am a real estate investor / licensed contractor.  My primary focus is the purchase, rehab, and sale of SFHs. On the side I do pickup some customer projects when it makes sense.  I share this because this creates multiple streams of income and the need for invoice generation.

I have a technical background and am very savvy with Excel.  To date I have been running everything out of a fairly sophisticated excel sheet... but I know there is a better way.

It doesn't take many searches to see the internet really likes to push Quickbooks.  I am curious about other's experience in this area.  I would prefer something cloud based, with maximum compatibility.  Also mileage tracking would be a plus!

It would be nice for the software to understand some aspects about the construction industry but this is not a deal breaker.  Everything I do is fairly typical for a small business.

Thanks in advance for your responses,
-Matt K

Were you able to find someone?

Thanks @Matthew Nicklin. I have not been in attendance at any Atlanta REI meetings yet, but plan to be in the future. It sounds like a great resource... I think I will be able to attend this month's meeting (7/31) in fact. Thanks for the suggestion. Talk soon, - Matt Keller

Hi everybody. This is my first post, but I have been following BP for a while now.  I started my career in the logistics corporate world... but for as long as I can remember I have watched real estate, analyzed deals, and admired other people's forced appreciation.  In the middle of 2018 I took the jump and became self-employed as a real estate investor. My focus is currently in the buy-rehab-sell space, primarily in SE & SW Atlanta.

A quick about me-

• Engineering & operations background
• Very process driven individual
• Strong communication skills
• Licensed & insured general contractor
• Work experience in new construction, renovations, & commercial build-outs

I am looking to network with experienced individuals that are also working in the rehab & development space.

Thanks!
