I do have a full time W2 job, but I certainly try to make time for this outside of work. 

Looking forward to pursuing further opportunities and contacts.

These types of sales can be complex and require a different approach than traditional sales, and they often represent opportunities to buy below market value.5.

I would buy in a market where you will see the best appreciation because you won't be able to force appreciation like you can with value-add opportunities. 

I have a clear understanding of what constitutes a viable opportunity for me.

We love intown living and our ideal situation is a house with some character in a diverse neighborhood with community gardens, BeltLine, etc.We have heard and seen an opportunity on the Westside (Grove Park, West End, Adair Park, Capitol View / Perkerson Park, and some streets in Mozley Park) with all of the exciting developments that are planned or in progress.

This comes from someone who gets sent hundreds of opportunities each month with 99.9% of these deals a complete train wreck (and that's no exaggeration).  

So I was happy he provided me with an opportunity to buy the property without him going to a list of an internal list of preferred buyers which would have counted against me as a first time investor.I signed the purchase agreement then ordered an inspection report so I could perform extra due diligence as an investor.

Why do you think this is a “once in a lifetime opportunity”?

They don't know what they're doing and likely won't do the job right, that protocol is critical for understanding how, when, and what should be done.I hope someone out there finds some value in this post!
