Atlanta market thesis

Atlanta is the dominant Southeast investor market — deep MLS, strong rental demand, and a long bench of operators on every level. The trade-off: high competition compresses fix-and-flip margins, pushing experienced operators toward BRRRR and Multi-Unit Conversion in older intown submarkets where institutional capital is less active.
