Through my research I have come across a property going through probate , the property is in a great area in East Atlanta near the Agnes Scott area.

Houses in east Texas are cheap. 

Long story short on June 22, 2016 I finally closed on my first multi-unit property in South East D.C. for my fellow Washingtonians it's in ward 8 near the st. elizabeth's campus.

My home is Harrisburg so I'm very familiar with the East & West Shores. 

I can tell you, for example, that millennials as professionals or industrial workers, often prefer the East side, primarily the 67207 zip code, and are willing to spend up to $1200 per month in rent, or they want something spacious with character in College Hill.

If you can get north and west it is a little better, but to be east of that intersection or South and East, I would avoid it.Also make sure, if you do move forward, to line up a good eviction attorney in that area. 

any investors in/ around east Texas?

I tested a few "neighborhoods" in the application, and the unfortunately data can be highly misleading (Note:  How this website defines "neighborhoods" may be different than common definitions (one simple example would be how they define the borders of Fountain Square - I don't think that most real estate professionals would say that Fountain Square goes that far east).Also, if you take as an example a neighborhood like Butler-Tarkington, on the south end (38th-42nd), it can be quite rough and $50k houses can be found readily, but in the northern end of the exact same neighborhood, you can find beautiful virtual mansions with manicured lawns which can easily be $500k - $1MM.So, just to summarize, while there are some "tools" which can be helpful, this just further illustrates once again, how difficult & challenging, Indianapolis can be & how one must do their own due diligence.Best,Matthew

East of Orleans is not too bad price wise, but the rent amounts do go down.
