As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

We are continuing to do regular flips and wholesale deals,  4 new builds this year.

Are you looking to continue doing the BRRR method or branching out? 

I have a job that also affords me a lot of spare time in my schedule and I'm looking to use that time to begin/continue/grow a real estate portfolio.

I’m hoping that once I do have enough saved I can buy the second property and continue house hacking.

Just struggling to find any good leads with not much access to mls and other paid services.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

Realistically you would expect the house to continue to appreciate during that time as well... even if at 3.33% appreciation - that is another $50,000 in appreciation you would make in the 3 years - give or take.  

This is not as passive as other investing but it will help launch your portfolio so that you can continue to invest without needing to work additional jobs.

As we continue to grow, it's becoming clear that we need a solid system to manage all our leads, nurture those leads, manage owner relationships, and property details so nothing slips through the cracks.
