Any real estate investors here? I am considering buying a rental property in Atlanta. Any advice on the ATL market or general real estate tips? Condo vs SFH? Long term renters vs Airbnb?

For long term rentals, The most important decision should be before buying is the property cash flowing after all expenses and taxes. If your not making something on the property then it’s not a good buy unless you see an opportunity to flip the property because it was undervalued. Cash on cash metric is probably one of the most important metric in real estate investments.

As far as Airbnb, I wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole. To much liability and vacancy issues. Try to get a long term tenant.

Condo or house? I like multi unit 3-4. But again this all depends on area and where you are looking to buy. Scope out the market and do your research.

Good luck & happy new year.

Watch Adam ruins everything episode on housing available in Netflix. Real estate has the lowest appreciation and if at all you want rental income buy an apartment in a busy downtown to increase rental income prospect. Air BnB is way too complicated, long term rentals are better.

3) Thailand 75%
4) Philippines 65%

What is the best 401k strategy? I have both traditional and Roth, would you contribute to traditional only up to the employer match and the rest in Roth? Looking to max out my contributions but not certain the best way to allocate between the two...

Also - after maxing out your 401k, would you recommend to move to a Roth IRA and contribute the max prior to other investment accounts?

26, 90k base if that would impact your advice. Thank you!!
