I am an investor new to the Atlanta/Decatur area who specializes in fixing and flipping distressed SFRs. 

I know some investors are wanting distress properties to help push them to that cap rate once rehab work is completed.

Whether you focus your business on wholesale dealing, or you turn distressed assets into rental properties, you need a list of potential buyers ready for when you need to sell quickly.

If you're looking for distressed properties, they may be a little harder to find here.

I see a lot of for sale houses and distressed houses that need some love too.

I've observed my 1st target/distressed property in my city that has been vacant for a very long time.

Buy distressed SFHs when the market is down and either rent them out or owner finance.

I've never purchased a distressed asset.

I started by buying a 4plex w/ an FHA loan and moved in, then continued buying cash-flowing properties in lower-end areas of the East Bay that were distressed, fixing them up, and renting them out.

From what I can tell in the area, distressed homes sell for 30-45k and 75k would be an ARV on the semi-conservative side of what a rehabbed home would sell for.
