Hey everyone, I’m new to real estate wholesaling and looking to get started in Atlanta.

Quote from @Cade Antonucci: I am starting to grow my rental portfolio and am looking for online alternatives to hold security deposits.

For example - I have a duplex that rents for $1350 - the mortgage when I started was $636.

Thanks for this perspective too @Aaron Zimmerman Based on this info above, I am starting to lean toward the $400k in cash versus the cash flow.

I sold that in 92. next iteration was 2002 when I started a new lending company in Portland OR to specifically fund Turnkey buyers in the mid west doing BRRRR loans we killed that.

Hopefully rents start going up 2nd Qtr and into 2026 and 2027.What price range do you want to be in? 

With that said, it's best to START it like you're going to outsource everything, so it will be easier once you decide to make that transition.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I've been looking at some properties and before I get started, I wanted to know does anyone have any reputable General Contractor/Contractor along with property manager in Columbus, GA because I haven't had much of luck in that department yet?
