Tons of great information on this site, and you will meet lots of very helpful individuals here.

Call the Atlanta Housing Authority... and also the Department of Social Services.Social Services can point you at State programs.

If you plan on holding the unit long term, budget for individual electrical metering.

I've seen such a large variance in prices and condition so its hard to determine appreciation without seeing the condition of the individual homes.

Or, if you've got the time and inclination (and you can access the city/county/state records), you can pull up each individual address and see when it last sold and for how much.Since you have Redfin coverage there, you could also search each address on that street, and scroll down the page to the Property History.Having an agent run 'em though sounds way faster and easier (and you'll get subsidy information too).Good luck!

I have had a lot of inquiries so I decided to cover it all at one time instead of individually.

The high bidder in these cases is simply put "into contract" on a short sale with all the baggage that entails.Very rarely will an individual owner place their property on auction.com, this my doubts that's what's going on here.

The best place is where like-minded individuals link up.

Most turn key companies can acquire properties and rehab them for far less than an individual so they are able to sell at market value and still make a profit.
