Hello All

Hello Everyone,

I am the newbee on the forum. I have dabbled in real estate investing in Florida for the past 3 years. I got caught in the recent slow down on 3 properties and am trying desperately to move them at a small loss. I am currently looking towards the greater Atlanta area now and have one big question.

Can a motivated person make a living for his entire family of 4 just doing real estate investing the way the market is now in Georgia?

I am a civil engineer but do not currently have a GC licence but I now my way around construction very well but not in Georgia. I will of course have to get a feel for the small builders and contracters in order to determine how far I can go in terms of fixer upper properties.
I feel the distressed properties have the gratest potential for ROI but would like more imput on the matter.

Sorry for the long intro.
I look forward to learning much on this forum.

Thank you
BigM

Hey BigM,

Welcome to the forum and to Georgia once you get here. The answer to your question is Yes! Georgia is a good State right now for Buying and Rehabing. Spot Building is very popular also. You just need to know your area's and values. Metro Atlanta is were the money is. The mark up is pretty good once you get the hang of it.
As a realtor in Georgia I spend lots of my time searching for these particular types of propertie's for Investors like yourself. If you have use of my services e-mail me so we can talk.

Again welcome to the forum.:cool:
