VERY cool strategy and progression story.

Neighborhoods near major employers like the AFB often provide reliable rental demand, which is a great foundation for a long-term hold strategy. 

It's was so easy for me getting started to get shiny object sindrome instead of locking in ONE STRATEGY, ONE NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE PROPERTY TYPE, ONE RENOVATION TYPE, etc. 

Thank you again for the guidance—it’s really helping me build a clearer strategy for reaching my goals! 

I'd work on a strategy that returns my capital guaranteed. build to rent direct with ground up developer does this.

Hi Malcolm, With your strategy of holding multi-family properties or flipping, the key is running the numbers carefully to match your goals.

I work mostly with investors doing just what you are seeking, the BRRRR strategy.

As @Jonathan Greene mentioned this is kind of a dated strategy in the new price/interest rate environment.

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental.
