hi, im jeff, i am interested in multifamily dwellings in the atl or pgh market. i am fairly new to investing and am currently enrolled in a coaching program during which  i have been able to meet many people in the business and have garnered quite a few relationships with some seasoned players. i am looking to learn  all i can so that i can help those people and communities that want to improve their situations as well as make a profit . 

Affinity is a big player here in the north county area.

I believe my RE agent provides great value to my deals with market/area/comp insight, a read on other agents and sellers, updates on what's happening in the market & market players, connections to the "aggressive" bankers & appraisers and a second set of eyes on the deal.  

I know there are a few big players out there like b2r and colony.
