Why Atlanta?

With so many U.S. markets suffering from the effects of 'mortgage melt-down', why choose Atlanta for your real estate investing?

The short answer is that Atlanta has the greatest potential for maximizing your return on investment (ROI).

Here's why:

Atlanta has one of the highest number of foreclosure properties in the Country.
Even though retail sales continue to be strong in the Atlanta Market, there is a glut of homes on the market.
It is possible to purchase homes in the $150k-$200k range and expect a retail sales price of $250k-$300k in approximately 3 years.
Atlanta home prices did not realize the same unrealistic run-up as other U.S. Metropolitan Areas.
The prices of Atlanta homes has remained steady, while other markets have dropped in recent months.
Atlanta's current population of about 5 million is projected to swell to almost 10 million within 10 year.
The average Atlanta commute time is 42 minutes and continues to worsen every year. This makes in-town property more desirable.
As credit becomes harder to attain for the average person, the home rental market will increase over the next few years.

Market Example

It is possible to acquire a foreclosure property in the Washington, D.C. market for $400k. The projected retail price of this property in 3 years is $500k, yielding a $100k profit. The same $400k investment in the Atlanta Market would yield $200k profit in the same time-frame.
