New to real estate investing so any help/recommendations means more than you know :) Does anyone know what would be the easiest or most efficient way to go about getting a new quadplex built in the Greater Atlanta/surrounding area?

My name is Chuck and I’ve been thinking about real estate investing for a long time and now ready to take the plunge.

Should I hire a real estate attorney?

This will give you a clear idea of your budget and make your offers more competitive.Work with an Agent: Consider finding a real estate agent who specializes in the areas you're interested in.

I’ve been doing research and will soon speak to a real estate attorney, however I wanted to get advice from anyone who has had experience in this area?
