There's are tons of up and coming areas in the city and I truly believe that this will be the next city in the entire country to boom given the formation of the Beltline, Amazon likely moving its 2nd headquarters here, 2 new stadiums professional sports stadiums, planning for street cars/trollies all throughout the city, great schools already here, billions worth of investment in the city and the fact that the actual city of Atlanta (not focusing on the metro) can be expanded even more, amongst other things.The city is going through a mini boom right now for sellers, but it seems to be sellers who bought their homes back in 2010-2015 who are now trying to make a profit on it because they bought it for dirt cheap.

@Andy Rousch Branson is like old-people Vegas in the Midwest...except instead of gambling they have an excess of theatres, and amusement parks hahaha.

Raiders won't have much effect on the local economy - part time low wage jobs don't support price increases, and I cannot find any fiscal study that has ever found a sports team had any measurable long term effect on any local economy.

At that point you’re almost gambling on what interest rates and the local RE market is going to do.

Definitely was an educated gamble going and doing this one.

Some of my hobbies include sports, traveling, music and enjoying time with family and friends. 

In my free time I like to read books, play sports, go on adventures, and have fun.

Not worth it to me to gamble in the winter only for it to come out poor because the weather didn't cooperate.

Is it a gamble?

If it goes above that, then I took the gamble and lost.
