@Silas Rogers did you end up doing this deal. Curious how it turned out

@Art Perkitny pls can you share the map?

@Ozzy Sirimsi are you an investor agent in Baltimore. I'd like to chat?

@Alaina Hinds checking in here. How is your rental holding up? I'm looking to do my first one in Baltimore as well

@Bradley Dosch impressive. Did you furnish the common areas like living room and kitchen?

@Nikel Berry I'm also looking into house hacking ATL.

My current approach is to find a duplex or a Single Family with an in law suite. Are you considering the second configuration?

@Emily Beatty hi Emily. Nice one. Which zip code are you with the duplex and where did you find it? They are scarce on the market

Hi ATL BP community,

I'm reentering the RE world with the goal to house hack in ATL metro. I'm currently searching for duplex or SF house with an in-law suite (separate room and bath with private entrance). However, duplexes are scarce on market and houses with in-law suite are tricky to identify.

Ask

Question 1

What are the zip codes with a large concentration of duplex? Or in-law suites? I'm searching everyday and want to transition to off market search to specify

Question 2

What is good to know/avoid? I've learned that counties like Cobb prevent more than 2 or so unrelated members from living in a SF.

Give:

I am happy to connect with anyone else searching for house hack in ATL. I also know there is a RE Meetup at Park Tavern on May 5.

For potential house hackers, lenders have been telling me that it's 15% min down for duplex but still 5% for SF. Something to consider. If there is a lender that will accept 5% for duplex primary residence, pls lmk.

@mariana congrats on closing. How did you end up hacking your 3/1 with 1 bath?

@Shawn Mcenteer which lender is that, if you don't mind sharing? My lender is saying 15%
