Saw the new ones they were building, starting at 500k...nothing in ATL is worth that when u throw in the I'm sure bloated condo fee. Find a nice row house

Yeah gentrification seems like the move. Can't afford any actually nice houses/town homes in nice areas anyway

Same boat here. Trying to figure out whether to buy a condo there or a house in a cheaper neighborhood and invest in renovations

😱 so just go for the house?

My conundrum is being at GT for next 2-3 years and benefiting from convenience of location in midtown and lower monthly costs than paying rent... Or pick an area still on the edge of gentrification that might make for a better investment. I don't have the discipline to own a house at this time.

Always buy a house if you can. Only land value appreciates overtime. If you're coming in as an investor, Rather than investing $500k on a condo, I'd buy a townhouse slightly outside of midtown/buckhead and do some projects to increase the property value.

Saw a job posting for a new dept in a company I want to work for-I am shallowly acquainted with the owner from 15yrs ago and we have messaged each other 2x on LinkedIn over the years. He is a multi billionaire. I am thinking about reaching out to him to ask about the department with the intent to be considered for hire.

Would you consider it rude or impertinent for someone with that shallow of a connection to you to reach out to talk about working for you? I'm unsure if there are SES issues.
