Rents started to come down and I had to leave a lot more money in projects that I was in the middle of.  

I have started to do some door knocking, and I see what you are saying!  

Stay consistent and things will start to fall into place

It really helped us a bunch as we got started a year ago.

Quote from @Duarte Marques: Thanks for the fast reply @Chris SeveneyAny tips on how to start investing in real estate?

You start with $30k income (or whatever your number is) before depreciation.A.

Hey everyone, I’m new to real estate wholesaling and looking to get started in Atlanta.

Also, I'm not sure how you're paying attention to it on the tax side, but the unit that you are living in's profit at sale is calculated differently than the other unit that you're renting out.Once you move out, that unit is officially available for rent so from that point forward, any profit gained at future sale will be calculated starting from that point and will be taxable.

I'd also start the marketing process 30-45 days before current tenants move out in most cases - it just seems easier to re-let a place that is currenlty occupied than one that's been sitting empty for a while for some reason. 

My advice would be to start small and do your research.
