Hi @Rishi Patel       I suggest joining the Atlanta Real Estate Investor Association.

Join forums, go to real estate meetups, and ask people who have been through similar experiences before for guidance.Seek guidance from a real estate specialist, such an investment adviser or real estate agent, to provide tailored guidance that aligns with your financial objectives and circumstances.Remember that real estate investing is a journey, and it's okay to start small and gradually scale your portfolio as you gain experience and confidence.

You can join us if you want of course.
