Purchase price: $65,000 3 bedroom 2 bath 1,397 Sqft single family house built in 2010 on a 4,408 Sqft lot and located in the Village of Tamarind Grove neighborhood in The Villages.

I'm a new investor and I'm looking at a duplex in the stone mountain village area near Atlanta Georgia.

There's a really nice Panera in the Woburn Village my friend : ) 

@Sergio Raul Coronado, I'm down the road from you in Westlake Village and I'm an individual mortgage broker...not a mega bank or an online portal which is good for getting better rates and loan experience.

I have a line on the capital I would need for the project through a private investor so that's reassuring.When I came to look at the property the seller informed me that he had drawings made, presented them to the village, and after a couple attempts they told him they wouldn't let him go through with the project since they plan for that strip of buildings to "go commercial" in the near future. 

North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds.What other tips for a first time home buyer in Columbus?

So the box Vinyl Village type homes is the current build (mixed in with townhomes, duplexes, quads).

Over the next 5 years when this is being developed much like the Washington Village in South Boston appreciation will definitely grow.

Sold several in Atwater Village and also more in Highland Park.Buy and hold is tough to cash flow anywhere in LA so you really have to find a good deal with major value adds and often times, sustain a year or three with slight negative cash flow but have massive appreciation both market and forced.South and East LA I am less familiar with except for south Bay (Gardena/Torrance/Etc.).

Also note the village requires $10K deposit for any major renovation work.
