@Lance Stokes Look into a local REIA in your area to join to gain access to a large network of like-minded people.

The strategy works and often in a few months we have made huge gains on the property, the rent roll, and the return.

I’ve found many to be scams, especially the ridiculously low priced listings.   2) As you look for a home to live in, know what is most important (strong rental potential, high appreciation, etc.) to you and be ready to make some trade offs. 3) If you’re looking ITP (inside I-285), visit the Atlanta Regional Commission website and the Atlanta Beltline website to gain an understanding of planned development for various areas, ie Westside Park, Westside Trail, transportation, etc)Best of luck and enjoy the journey!!

But at the prices you are paying now I think it would be tough to ask for big appreciation gains. 

Although I have been gaining information on my personal finances, and my capability to achieve a conventional loan would require a cosigner...Looking forward to your response Rebecca!

You can also live in the rental for the first two years and save on the Capital Gains tax.

If you want to swing for the fences and make some bigger gains, then other strategies definitely work better.

You know the saying, no pain no gain!

Whatever you want to call it, someone gains fraudulent title to your property through stealing your identity.

I would love to gain some experience in any real estate area with someone that’s already doing it and wants some help.
