Georgia is too MAGA. Remember the old dildo laws? Women now have severe limitations for abortions. No thanks. Keep your chastity belt handy, a Bible on the bedside table and your husband using you as his property.

Avoid Dryvit siding.

IF Rainbow City is so affordable why is the city a complete Bum fiesta? Why are 6 people living in a 1 bedroom apartment, no furniture, no cable and the electricity is ready to be cut off? THIS POST IS NOT TRUE..ITS A BIG FAT KAUCASIAN LIE.🤡🎯

Of course nobody from the county even comes out to inspect a roofing job in GA. It’s a total joke when it comes to roofing. In Florida they have to open a permit and an inspector comes to make sure the work is being done correctly and to make sure workers have workman’s comp and then to final inspection to close the permit.

I agree with #1 wholeheartedly, but in Atlanta, sometimes you never know when your peaceful street might turn into a busy road.

I'm not sure how you determined the list order since usually median house value are what's important.

A crawlspace is better and more sturdy than a slab foundation. They are typically found in older/mid-century homes and more structurally sound compared to some of the sketchy builders supplying new builds. The rodents might be the only real draw back IMO. A moisture barrier can mitigate the water/moisture issues.

East Cobb resident since June 1971 (except for a few years away) We lived in the 98th home built in Indian Hills and I was in the first graduating class from Walton H.S. back in 1977. Back then there were box turtles in the woods by the hundreds as well as pileated woodpeckers, skunks, armadillos, and deer seen all the time. Many changes looking back. Still a great place to live! At age 62 your property tax decreases significantly because the school tax assessment is no longer paid. My property tax bill went form $2800/year to $452/year. It's a great place to retire as well! The best kept secret is the fairly new Mabry Park. Well, the cat is out of the bag now so enjoy it!

Thank you!

Thanks. Let's make ATL great again

Don’t buy a house on a big lot that slopes dramatically, unless you don’t care about spending time in the backyard. You won’t be able to practically use a good portion of your yard.

For sewer bills, is it an annual bill or is it included in the taxes? I get an annual bill.

New York is nice, BUT Atlanta is nicer 🎉 with better perks. I lived in NY happy, but now in ATL i am super 🎉🎉 happy. Amen!

Omg yes steel driveways suck for vendors who can get stuck backing up wrong

Yup and rodents mean snakes! Great helpers but eek!

I love a house that doesn’t have a large crawlspace or basement, easier to figure out flooding

Very informative video! This can apply to any place you decide to live, which is helpful.

Can you buy a house being on social SECURITY? Also , my credit score is good.❤

Pretty much on target. Commute: True; do plenty of research. Consider renting first if you're unsure. Transit: True. It's good to note that Gwinnett and Cobb counties do have express bus routes into the city and connect with MARTA rail. Public schools: Gwinnett County is generally tops but still do you research. Lots of private school options. Winter: mild in general. Atl has a big, newsworthy snowstorm about once a decade. Apparently we're due for one. Spring: allergy central. Lots of pollen of many kinds. Summer: Hot & very humid "Palmetto bugs": I just call them roaches, but yes, we have them. Fall: Feels great partly because summer is so hot.

Great info

Hello Kelly, This is a very informative video! We will be visiting Atlanta in a few weeks and we're scheduled to meet up with your agent Nikki :) We have been exchanging emails and texts with Kathleen..she's great! Looking forward to meeting and working with your team. Cheers Mike

Funny you mentioned kids and driveways. I was showing client a really nice home and they loved it until their 9 yr old son ran full speed down the steep driveway into the cul-de-sac. 😂😂😂

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Atlanta in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

Hello good ❤❤❤❤

I live in a home with a sloping downward driveway.And I will not do it again.So I definitely agree with doing that

The child or toy reference was crazy 😂😂realtors are comedians too 🙌

Thank you so much.. my wife and I are relocating back to Atlanta in March… originally from Miami we were living in Stockbridge before and we didn’t like the school district… I am really looking for powder springs, Dallas, Lawrenceville.. are concerns are schools and family oriented areas

You forgot a pro, you, thanks.

Good information I’m from Florida and thinking about relocating

A busy road in grant park still = an expensive home.

When I lived in Atlanta I purchased a home in Lithia Springs near a quarry and didn't know it. They would blast rocks at certain times during the week and it would feel like an earthquake shaking the house. I would definitely be on the lookout for this If I bought in GA again.

It looks wonderful. Do you know anything about the apartment life there?

One more, homes that are facing or backing a cemetery.

Did she really mean to say 51 states in America.

I'm surprised that Gwinnett County isn't more blue.

This person is a dingbat. And needs to learn how to spell.

very nice

Steep driveways in Atlanta are a no because of the ice storms.

No flipper would use only licensed contractors! 😆 Where would the profit be in that? Majority flippers do the work themselves. I wouldn’t buy a flip AND I wouldn’t buy a house that was sold multiple times within a few years either. Screams of investors manipulating the market by buying a house short term then selling it back double what they paid having done very little to it to make a profit and screwing the property taxes for the rest of the neighborhood houses

You listed the homes we should not buy in Atlanta. The houses you showed are what is available in the nicer areas. What is left? What kind of homes should we buy in Atlanta?

Moved here in 2014 from Michigan and living in one of the suburbs. Don't regret one bit. Atlanta is so much better than Michigan and so much better than other big cities like Chicago and New York. Love it here. The lush green forest, the mild 4 seasons, the diversity in people, culture and food. And the friendly people. Will never move back up north. The key is live and work in the suburbs and you'll be fine. Living and working in the suburbs will eliminate most of the regrets you listed.

When I was looking for a home to purchase the initial major point was the sloping of the driveway. My son's house has a fairly flat with slight decline from the 2/3 point downwards toward the back of the driveway but alongside the entry to the garage. When we first moved in and it rained, the garage was flooded because of that slope. I would have expected a French drain to have been implemented starting at the sidewalk from the driveway to the front of the house, constructed across the garage entrance to the back of the property, which could have alleviated that flooding issue. Simple enough to implement but since it wasn't it caused issues. So many common sense ideas if folks need to prevent damage. Its been rectified somewhat with a drain attached to the roof eves at the front corner of the garage leading across the garage entrance which is now closed in for extra living space. Works just as well, but would have to be adjusted if it were to be opened up again to function as a garage.
