I'd just like to hear what other experienced investors on this site would do with the same property in the same neighborhood and your reasons why.Here are some things to consider:- The address is 2854 McAfee Road, Decatur, GA, 30032  (http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2854-Mcafee-Rd-D...)- I am purchasing the property for $48,000- The property needs a new water heater, AC compressor, roof (in the near future), and work to the kitchen, bathroom, and deck- The property is located on a main street / a Marta bus route- FHA buyers would not be able to make offers until the middle of June- The property is already fairly rent-ready- The property is on a long lot that connects to the anterior street, which could be subdivided into two reasonably sized lots if I go through the process of rezoning it (jumping through beuracratic hoops and contending with the local community)- I have already negotiated down some of the contracting costs- I am paying cash - Taxes and insurance favor buying and holding- Flipping is a faster process, which would allow me to try both strategies (next property) soonerAgain, I realize in many ways in comes down to my own circumstances, but if you would humor me I'd be interested in hearing what others here, particularly those familiar with this local market and area, would do.

Has anyone here had any success with short terms rentals in the Atlanta market? I'm concerned about vacancies and inventory availability. I feel like if I found a good deal on a condo or something in the heart of the ...
