@Surya S KumaresanYou're in a great position to grow your real estate portfolio in Atlanta, a market with strong appreciation and rental demand.

If you’d like a little more passive income with your investments, focus on areas with below-median home prices, diverse and resiliant local economies, and high rental demand.

Unless you've done substantial improvements to the building or used a large down payment when buying, it's unlikely this will work.Perhaps your best move is to find a new primary residence that is 2-4 units and repeat the process.

Your Attorney has been WELL compensated and you should DEMAND he gets them out!

I’d recommend looking for a market that’s affordable and has good rental demand—local job growth or proximity to schools can be a sign of a solid investment.

@Brett Riemensnider Following @Caleb Brown's advice, you need to contact a local eviction attorney asap and let them know you have demands for nonpayment of rent that have expired and you'd like to start the eviction process.

I'm wondering how anyone does it in this area, or maybe I just have not been looking for long enough.I really would like to purchase in my area as it would be my first rental property, and I am most familiar with the northern VA area If this is not to be, I also am wondering what markets nearby would be better.I’m also in Fairfax County, and you’re absolutely right: Fairfax County and much of Northern VA are tough markets for cash flow, especially starting out without a substantial down payment.

If mass deportations were to actually happen, it could slightly ease demand, mainly in larger cities, but probably not enough to change rent rates.

It typically has pretty good rental demand with UCONN Law School, St.

The low purchase price, combined with an established market demand, made this an ideal transaction for a fast turnaround and profitable outcome.
