Highly recommend you DM @Samuel Eddinger and buy him lunch to pick his brain!

I would recommend that you start with buying a primary residence using a low down payment loan, like a 5% down conventional loan, live in it for a year or two and then keep it as a rental when you go and buy your next primary residence using another 5% down conventional loan.

My recommendation would be to take business classes at a technical college while working/ interning for a company in a field you are interested in.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I highly recommend them! 

I recommend finding someone you trust that can mentor you and help you push through your mental & environmental resistance. 

Ask for their advice and maybe even something a little corny, like whether they’d be willing to write a letter of recommendation for your lender when the time comes.

I would recommend talking to many lenders/brokers to see which one has the most experience funding these loan types. 

If you want to buy in University city, I recommend staying as close to the universities possible in order to attract the best tenants and have the best room for appreciation.

Who are great property managers in Atlanta you would recommend for my circumstance?
