The cat is out of the bag in the MHC sector and this has caused prices to reach historic levels.

Piece of advice - when I started I wish I would have focused on my multifamily niche/expertise from day one vs trying to be the agent for everyone (flippers, STR buyers, land, etc). 

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

There is hospitals for VA, Private, and public sectors, plus a lot to do in the area.

I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous, but lack detailed expertise and certifications.I will say that I was extremely disappointed with my last realtors lack of construction knowledge so you will have a leg up there for sure, and you should play up that as a selling point

However, long story short, yes there is, although I would recommend finding an advisor who is skilled in holistic financial planning that includes not just traditional stock market investments or real estate investments exclusively, but all investment strategies to help in your specific goals.In general though, you can either find a fee-only CFP that has expertise in real estate and other alternative investments, or you can find an advisor who is at the very least willing to have a conversation free of charge prior to any actual investments so they can give you a very good idea of whether they would be able to help you prior to beginning a relationship.

I’d love to hear more about your goals and how you’re planning to apply your expertise to real estate!

.: Quote from @Stepan Hedz: Phoenix, AZ, offers a young myriad of options for real estate investors, particularly in the distressed sectors.

Anything that involves a load bearing wall will generally need an architect IME, but it can also be required (maybe indirectly) through the jurisdiction's building code/enforcement.Got it, thank you for lending your expertise!

Residential real estate has always been a great spot to invest since it is easier to get in/out than other sectors.
