Great advice here! Also if you want to search by school district, Mary Lin in Atlanta City Schools is also an excellent school that serves some wonderful in-town neighborhoods (close to downtown). 

And PS: @Nelson De la Torre I'm also in City of Decatur! Hi there :) 

I would BRRRR it if the numbers all work and it meets your cashflow goals. That way you won't have to pay all the flip taxes and you'll have your first rental!

Hi @Dale Abella! Looks like you're a Pro member - BiggerPockets has state specific leases you can download here on the site. I would start there!

@Alan Matthews I think Zillow can do ok for ARV as long as you ignore Zestimates and focus on homes that have sold in the last 180 days. That should give you a pretty accurate picture.

Also, agree with @Canesha Edwards about figuring out your niche! It may change, but at least having a more narrow focus for your first project will likely help you move forward faster. 

Welcome @Alan Matthews! 

There's a BiggerPockets inspired meet up in Buckhead once a month. I believe @Vincent Crane can you give you the info on how to get plugged into that. 

Beyond that my advice would be to analyze deals daily and get really comfortable with the numbers of the different scenarios as well as figuring out your financing approach. 

@Felicia Bridges let me know if you have questions! My speciality is in-town Atlanta, Decatur, Tucker, Clarkston, Scottdale, etc. 

Good luck!

@Brandon Coon I'm responding late to this but let me know if you still need any help. I just listed a home in Gwinnett earlier this month and had a contract in 2 days. It's a hot area right now!

@Azeez K. sorry for the late response! This one took us 8 weeks start to finish. Thank you!!

@Joshua Biondi I've had the best luck on my local neighborhood listserv or the local Next Door. See what your neighbors are doing... even if they're not investors, you might someone great that way. Good luck!

@Calla Gruss I've done fix and flips around Decatur, North Decatur (30033) and Tucker (just barely OTP) with great success. Feel free to DM me if you want more information or want to narrow down your search!
