I've also polled several of the people in my network (contractors, flippers, wholesalers, brokers) asking what they are seeing.Below is my updated budget (padded) for Spring/Summer 2021. (1) Note that the 2020 numbers are a padded (I pad everything) high average of budgets pulled from 4 houses I flipped in the PNW in 2019-2020. (2) If the official numbers were below inflation, I used Inflation (Shadowstats.com). (3) The overall increase in price on my breakdown is close to the overall data I've found online, which makes me think I have a decent updated budget for eyeballing deals with. (4) To reiterate, the numbers I started with were unique to my situation in the PNW, so please don't take them as gospel for you!

With that being said, there are pros and cons to everything and there are a lot of decent folks on these programs.

Being licensed, or not, has nothing to do with being able to own a property....you simply need the cash for the down payment and closing costs, decent credit score and a decent income verses your debts.

You need to focus on hiring a decent local team of cleaners and one general handyman for maintenance.

The only good news — there was decent wifi.

Cash flow is extremely hard to come by around here (everywhere right now), but these numbers look pretty decent ($250-300 "pure" CF, depending how you cut it), even after accounting for $900/yr. in flood insurance (owner currently pays $800). 

BWW would be a decent spot ip north or maybe ale works.

It sounds like you have a pretty decent BRRRR on your hands, which is rare to find in Atlanta.

With taxes and everything, the cost ranges are less than $50 a month.some of the destroyed houses seems to be in decent neighborhoods, nice houses, lawns taken care of etc.Do you think it would be worth it to own a few of these properties for the future?  

And if you’ve worked with veterans before even better.Still learning how this app works but I just shot you a request and a follow.
