Pretty much all of our 25 unit rental portfolio was obtained by using the BRRR method. 

We are seeing co-living investors be able to obtain strong cashflow vs. the traditional long term rental where price points are below $320k or so.I'd pick a sub-market that you have confidence in holding over the next 5 - 10 years.Personally, I like the northern parts of the metro (Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville) for LTR and Dekalb, Clayton, Fulton) for Co-living.Feel free to ping me if you'd like to chat - happy to help!

I know its expensive but you will be well protected :)Or you save a lot of money and be better protected by doing this consistently and well:-carry appropriate types and amounts of insurance-sign contracts with indemnification provisions- obtain all necessary licenses and permits to operate your business-ensure all vendors/contractors are licensed and insured and list you as additional insured-sign well drafted and fair leases and be a responsive landlord -be an active owner or hire an active PM  who avoids or at worse timely eliminates premises liability exposure The strategies you often read about are sold by alarmist asset protection companies who fail to disclose how impractical they are.
