I have developed this passion for real estate investment mainly fix and flip.

My main concern would be whether or not it's safe to go ahead and start working on the house if I sign the articles of agreement, or just wait it out.

The main living area is a small open kitchen/living room.

We focus mainly in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.  

Are there different topics every week, or is it mainly for networking?

But multi families seem non-existent (in terms of him being able to house hack), partial or shared ownership schemes seem like they would be very difficult to exit, and basic SFR prices seem just so high that appreciating seems to be the main profit strategy.

I’d like to network with experienced investor-friendly real estate agents or brokers in the area (mainly ).

@Ryan King  I used seller financing when I purchased a few times in the past, mainly for places that wouldn't qualify for conventional financing.  

The main issue I've been finding is unfortunately a lack of a large investment potential, in addition to the market being so saturated by flippers in NY already.
