This is where you can significantly increase the value of the property by making improvements that attract quality tenants and justify a higher rental price.

Make sure the zoning, local building department/regulations, and neighborhood allow you to put a tiny house on your property and rent it out.If that is not possible, using that money for the next property makes sense.In general, I think increasing housing density will help provide more badly needed housing affordably.To Your Success!

My wife and I earn over $350k a year in our jobs and all of that is now going to pay down debt.We have the option to increase our HELOC to unlock some more capital which I'm considering doing to try and get a good return on my money and pay down the debt faster, but given past experiences I'm not convinced it won't end up with more debt.What would you do at this point?

Atlanta is a strong multi-family market with a diverse economy, a growing population, and increasing demand for rental properties.

There are still properties that can increase their rents, and may make for a good investment.
