I'm looking for a broker in the Atlanta, Marietta area. Thanks.

 Hey @Marcos De la Cruz I just sent you a PM.

Georgia/ Ohio/ PA/ NC/ Alabama/ AZ/ CA/ Vegas

These are all areas I’m looking at for this years prop opportunity. Looking to put down 20% down on a $100 - $200K. 

Is anyone familiar with investing in these areas? I’ve already got CA covered. Does any realtors or agents have any knowledge about specific counties/ and or areas where you’re starting to see a certain shift? 

Interested in connecting with potential realtors and agents to discuss future projection and opportunities when that time is ready. Def all ears! Appreciate the support.


 I just messaged you.

During our meeting, we saw an article that PepsiCo Beverages have officially break ground on $260 million Dekalb County manufacturing facility. According to WhatNow Atlanta is that this facility will become one of the largest in the company's portfolio. This is huge for Atlanta REI. I personally have my investor clients blowing me up telling me to let them know when we get a deal in this area. When big companies like this make a move to a certain area. How soon do you try to buy properties and how far out would you buy from this Pepsi facility?


Big companies putting money in our area is always great! Stone Mountain seems still fairly priced allowing employees to purchase in this market but im not expert in this side of town. If you wanted to answer this fully, id ask investors what happened to rent prices when the Amazon Fulfillment Center opened up down the street? Was there a drastic uptick in the rental market?

I see alot of people in social media saying stay away from the BRRRR method instead just do the scale part. What kind of success have you guys had scaling instead of repeating and acquiring more rentals?

Seen a post today about wholesale companies.  In the real estate investing world or any investments you should always do your own research no matter anyone tells you.  Should never go into a property without asking more than what you are given.  Yes there are sale people out there just trying to make a commission but you should find that out yourself.  It usually shows when someone is desperate for a sale vs someone who really want to get you a good deal.  The way to be successful in this business is by having repeat business as a salesperson and consistent inventory as an investor.  My advice to investors out there is to always do your due diligence and run your own numbers and be strict to them. Advice to other real estate agents is to not lose your morales over $$ it will kill your  Not every deal is a deal.

Hey Thomas, In a situation like this the way such wholesalers structure their contracts there's not much you can do for the misrepresentation that the wholesaler stated to you. Sometimes is easier to lose the 5k EMD than deal with the headache of the situation. Based on what you are telling me it seems like 1 this was your first deal with them, and 2. you will probably not go back to them to purchase another deal. I work with a wholesale brokerage that operates extremely similar and my 2 cents is that no matter what company- it comes down to the individual person that you are working with and their moral compass. Safe to say that they seemed to have spoiled the relationship and won't be earning your long term business?


 I totally agree with this.  It comes down to the individual not the company itself.  Don't let this shy away from any other wholesale companies out there.  Make sure the individual isn't just trying to sell you a house but actually want you to succeed. Ask the questions do your research.

Hey Quinton. I'm in Atlanta and an active buyer. Lets connect on any deals that you might come across.


 Awesome I just sent you a direct message. Lets set up a meeting today.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Morning BP,

How do you guys feel about section 8 investing? Do you think it can be a huge risk vs just having a regular rental investment property?  i think you can run into alot of disadvantages to be honest.  I believe that it lacks accountability in the tenant and they'll tend not to take care of the property because they aren't taking paying for it.
