Wow, that’s a tough lesson, but one so many of us in real estate can relate to.

Which market do you have experience in and how is your experience working remotely with your real estate team in the area?  

Pick one that is improving, homes being renovated and flipped, vacant storefronts being turned into cool coffee shops etc.Good luck.

I am looking to get connected with Real estate agents, lenders and Contractors  and other investors in Atlanta area to help me to get started ASAP. 

BRRRR out of your flips is great way to keep some of your properties! 

Don't conflate the one-off thing with Gamestop with what real investors with real money have on their radar.

I've seen many landlords that get lucky with good renters for a long period of time, then everything falls apart when they have to deal with real difficulty.I looked up your property on Google Maps, and the street view looks bad.

Very cool piece of real estate, unfortunately it doesn't even make sense at the $650k asking price.

If this is for real, I strongly suspect you'll need to be an accredited investor.

Starting with an owner-occupied duplex is a great way to get into real estate investing while keeping things manageable.
