So glad you've discovered Bigger Pockets early in your real estate investing journey...sounds like you've already developed a great plan to break into real estate in ATL.A few tips that may be helpful to you here on the BP website:You can set up keyword alerts so anytime someone posts about Atlanta or any of the specific neighborhoods you're evaluating, you'll be notified.

From what I understand, I need to be in a place that’s safe, with good schools, good neighborhood, etc.a.

The cap rate is lower, but I am weighing that against less CAPEX and better neighborhoods.

But like I said...it can be an awesome option if it's the right fit!

I also, can continue the eviction if the bank doesn't carry it out.4 bed 3 bath 2400 sqft with over an acre of landpurchase around $205k  ARV of $360-400k with an estimated reno cost of $50k The Unknown:for being an REO Occupied property, there are no interior pictures so I was only able to see the one picture of the exterior of the home (luckily enough I live a mere 15 minutes away and can check the exterior and neighborhood better)Connecticut has a crumbling foundation issue with many homes (crossing my fingers but also researched a little bit to make myself feel better)How much reno will be needed? 

It all depends on your personal goal and type of properties (neighborhoods) you are investing in. 

I prefer it in low income neighborhoods.  

What is everyone's thoughts on the neighborhood in the next 3 years?

You need to know the property and neighborhood front and backward. 

Are you familiar with the neighborhoods down here?
