Hi all,My wife and I are getting started with rental property investing, we've done some research, gotten with a pretty motivated agent and looked at homes (single family/multi-family) all over metro atlanta, and we really can't seem to find much that actually works with investor math.Most of what I see seems to have an asking price that's either too high to justify the market rents, or probably wont have positive cashflow for a couple of years with needed rennovations.I feel like I'm either missing something or not being creative enough with our strategy in the current market.I'm hoping to start a conversation and maybe get some advice if anyone has tips for the metro Atlanta area.Thanks in Advance!
