All of the properties are on South side of Atlanta, off Cleveland Avenue, near Browns Mill Golf Course. 

We are investors who have been doing our own rehab--- yet I see on BP so often that swinging the hammer is the least profitable part of real estate.

There are still hammers to swing and paintbrushes to wield, but I am starting to look ahead at getting it rented out.There is a light industrial plant (food and ingredients) that is very close to the house... their property line is about 8 houses away from mine, and the house front door is about a quarter-mile walk from the front door of the plant.Even better, the company just expanded the plant with a second building, and have billboards up around town saying "We're hiring!" 

Wow, 20-50 units Big Swing how many do you own now?

I believe the massive value swings block by block have also hindered my attempts at selling it straight up.Regarding the balance of the 1st lien, I'd rather not openly discuss that until this property is sold.

My wife besides being able to swing a hammer, lay tile and work a Sawzall is a director/whiz of market research and Excel guru.We look forward to meeting other like minded people here on BiggerPockets and hope to make friends with many of you.  

So starting over with $0 and a low credit score (so low, it could have been a golf score), I was able to go from that to acquiring over 3,000 apartment units and houses (and I keep 1,000 apartment units today).But, your question is: for someone with NO experience, NO knowledge and NO money, how can one start and go into a BIG deal? 

It's a really unique state with everything from desert to lakes and boating, skiing, hiking, golf, literally anything you want to do outdoors and they have the climate and topography to do it. 

I would've bought a nice golf course place and converted the walk-out lower level into a 2nd unit.
