@Taylor Busick Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

You're probably referring to my stories on robberies.The best one I heard was from my dad.

@Winston Covington that is a great story and example of the power of holding real estate even if the property is only cash flowing a little bit at the front end and over the years with increased in rents while appreciation any investor can look amazing!

Outdoor features include Mediterranean-inspired landscaping, an entry courtyard with water features, an infinity-edge swimming pool, a putting green, a fire pit, and a built-in barbeque with bar seating.

If you have a recorded mortgage and the county did not properly notify you about the tax sale, then the tax deed can legally be voided.I would get a copy of the tax collectors file and see if there is any mention of your recorded mortgage.I would talk to the tax collector and see what the story is and then inform your attorney.

Purchase price: $328,000 Cash invested: $5,000 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath (1 full, 2 half) 3 Stories, (2 story with walk out basement.)1 Acre What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Eric BarriosAlways get an estoppel signed by the prior owner an all tenants regarding lease agreement specifics, security deposit held and amount paid or outstanding.There are countless stories of new owner finding out from tenants after the fact a different stories than what was told by the prior owner before the sale.

Has anyone house hacked in Atlanta before or can share their stories on their first house hack ?

However, I doubt that I'm the first person to be in this situation, so I want to share my story and thoughts so far, and see if anyone else has been on a similar path, and hear how you navigated it.I was laid off from my job in Los Angeles in March 2020 and moved to Nashville in November.
