Only the most desperate renters would probably agree to live there so the price of the property would have to be dirt cheap and cost you as little money as possible in the rehab to make it worth the effort.Your gambling that the surrounding area will be gentrified in the next few years and increase the property values.If this was in Southern California I would say yes absolutely but,the ATL may be a little harder to wait for unless the population booms there in the next 5 years.

And that is split with your brokerage, and what you get is taxed as self employment income, which remember has a higher tax rate than a w2 income.Other costs with your license are mls dues, sentrilock/suprakey dues, Realtor association dues, e&o insurance, continuing education classes, possibly desk fees from broker.
