Keep in mind this comes with caveats and strategies like BRRRRR can be difficult to pull off without properly navigation.  

The new Mercedes-Benz stadium (home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United soccer) opened a year ago, mix-use developments are being built everywhere, restaurants, etc.

Seller financing: I like the idea of cover to a seller with multiple offers but I’m struggling to develop a 3-offer system.

How do you get started in developing the contacts and network for these type of projects?

We would love to be near Carlson Park but we are priced out and any chance for a rehab seems to be scooped up by commercial developers.  

I also went to undergraduate in PA and grad school in AZ, and in both locations large apartment complexes were being built, and the local landlords couldn't compete in one location because of over development by the large corporations.  

As to "(if) we don't run out of water" I'm betting that one of two things will happen sometime in the future, 1) it will be decided to pipe the Columbia river from Washington the way oil is currently being piped across continents, or 2) a process will be developed to desalinate seawater cheaply or a process will be developed to bring moisture out of the air which can currently be done on a small scale.

Check your recorder of deeds site for info on properties.Also, verify proper notice was given to lien holdersother than 1st. if there are any if, not the sale can be declared voidby other lien holders if they can prove they were not notifiedof the sale.Set a max dollar amount on each bid and stick by it.

@Kent Caldwell Welcome to BP@Ali Boone I disagree about Chattanooga,  I think it will cash flow as long as you don't over pay and you properly analyze the deals, cant speak for the other areas but I have been doing just fine in Chattanooga. 

Never understood why this area developed the way it did.
