You're best bet will be to read through the Atlanta specific forums found here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...  

I'm sure you were proud of your baby given it was your first but after a while, you will be more proud of how far you have come versus others around you that were too afraid to even start because they heard the taxes of a flip was high.

It all depends on acquisition price versus what may or may not need updating; the After Repair Value and then the cash flow you'll receive.   

If I had to pick between doing a few very profitable deals versus doing a ton of less profitable deals, I would go with the less stress/less headaches route of less projects.

Bay Area SFH investors are mainly bet on appreciation, and the long term rental not able to CF. 

Texas imo is a fairly safe bet if you are going for real estate, but not without its risks.

My wife and I were able to use the equity in our first home to cover the 20% required for a conventional loan; will most likely be your best bet if your gf has the equity for it. 

., you bet you can.

Your best bet will be local facebook groups (search the city and use key words like: XYZ City in Washington/Arizona Real Estate Group or Real Estate Investors). 

@Milton Carrillo your best bet is going to be to go to the city and speak with someone in the Building Department or Planning Department.
