With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

There are more cashflow favorable cities than Atlanta but it offers a great mix of reasonable cashflow, growth, and strong appreciation. 

@dhiren, if you were just starting out (I have an offer on my first investment) how would you suggest first setting up your business to minimize fees down the road?

Short-term rentals (STRs) are highly regulated, particularly downtown, so areas like Mount Pleasant, James Island, and North Charleston may offer more flexibility.

So unless you had a better deal that could offer better returns that this house then I would not sell.

The area has seen growth in both the residential and rental markets, making it a potentially lucrative investment.For financing, you can explore options like conventional loans, FHA loans (for owner-occupied properties), or even local programs that might offer lower down payments for investment properties.

You can structure it as an LLC or joint venture, which offers clearer tax and liability benefits.Your son doesn’t need to be on the loan or title if he's a silent partner, and you can manage the mortgage, credit, and insurance.

Thanks for letting me know about it and the trial period offer.

As you know in many real estate deals, the money is made at the buy.Personally, I'm focused on off-market deals where we can create value.Curious—how did you frame your offer to get them to drop without hesitation?

I am the agent and offer on my own deals.
