The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

Buying a turn key rental, in an area you know or knew well, with a property manager you've met and trust, in an area that is large enough for you to have other options to find contractors and property managers? 

I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi! 

This is typically HIGHER than option one. 

If you ever want to explore other funding options for future flips, let me know! 

You need the backup option in case the mid-term rental market changes.Minimizing turn costs and downtime is critical.

Otherwise, I recommend option two, using a personal loan.

But I'm looking for the cheapest option to acquire for now and then work my way up to multifamily.

@Nicole ShoafYou are correct and have equity locked up in those units, a good lender can give you options on HELOCs or other loan products that could help get some equity out without selling.

Today I had a heater issue and snow company that was late handling commercial before residential so we ended up clearing it.Open to each option.
