I know it seems like a tough task, but can you spend a few more months or a year while you continue to learn to really tighten the budget or find ways to earn a little extra to start from a stronger position?

Real Estate plus the business would be a stronger package, sold as a business vs. just the real estate.

Atlanta MSA is great and growing, but Multi-Family supply coming on line there both now and through next year is significant, wouldn't this be a better/cheaper deal 1 year from now?

This has happened all over the country and will continue to happen because we are becoming a renter nation and we will probably never keep up with the housing supply.

These properties tend to hold value better and offer stronger appreciation compared to duplexes or small multifamily units.

Bitcoin’s final supply has been fixed since day one.

There's a lot you can do remotely such as listing on websites, pricing strategies, arranging/order supplies, guest communications, going to the property and doing work on it (note: travel time generally doesn't count).

.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

Anywhere that has consistent or slightly growing population and a decent job supply may be a good fit.

I'd be more worried about supplies to build houses (eg wood for the framing).
