REI is a higher risk, less reward ball game in the short term future here.

Nobody has a good enough crystal ball to accurately predict SOFR even out 12 months, let alone a decade.Since 5-50 units is not institution grade, I don't think you need to replicate the neurosis.  

Circling back to your question, no one has a crystal ball, but the south/southwest markets of Downtown ATL are showing promising signs of gentrification.

Lastly with that said amount I’d say you put most into liquidity for your health reasons and start out with something you can be able to afford when your health needs best part of so you don’t start worrying much on what to do further causing you higher health risks because RE isn’t a get rich quick…..That been said, the ball still in your court….!!!

I'm a little nervous too because the asking price is a little high for the amount of repairs that are needed, but I'm trying not to scare the owner with a low ball offer because I'm focused on getting him to finance the deal so I can get a low interest rate or no interest at all.

In reality I do not have a crystal ball and these are all just guesses.Good Luck!

@Alex BorczykFor starters, you are in the right place to get the education ball going. 

Because PM is on the ball and know's how to work the rough markets.Thanks 

I would recommend calling a few construction/ fence/ light companies to get some ball parks.

Usually homes are under contract by the 2nd price reduction.Knowing this trick has been extremely valuable to me and my investors in 3 ways: (1) It has saved valuable time from submitting low ball offers that could never be considered. (2) It has provided leverage for many accepted deals that have been just a tiny bit overpriced, closely competed for, but all the other bids barely missed the percentage mark. (3) When the bidding period changes to a daily bid, I submit a bid as quickly as I can and if possible on the same day that the bidding period becomes a daily period.
