Hello Ludart. I have been looking at the Orlando market for over a year now. I lived in there before moving to NZ 4 years ago and I think that I have a pretty good knowledge of the area. I'm seriously thinking in going around may-june, but the market here it's so slow that it could take me a long time before I can sell a couple of things to take enough money to invest. So, it really depends of me selling or not selling before that date. After september I will be so busy here for the next 8 months that it will be impossible for me to go. I have a potential partner in Orlando that will allow me to get mortgage as a local by setting up an LLC with him, basically I come up with cash and he provides the finance security, he is also a contractor which means a very good reno rate for us.
Now, I know that you are talking about Atlanta, but considering that Orlando is so close, I'm thinking that maybe I could get in touch with the guys buying over there and spend a week or so with them before going to ORL. In that case and providing I have the money before May I could perhaps join you. Good luck. Gabriel.
