Metro Atlanta is becoming an investors destination for good return on investment and should continue to be through the next few years. Speculators estimate that there are currently around 25,000-30,000 forclosures with about 80,000-100,000 properties over 90 days delinquent. This means that there is a large number of properties to be purchased at the foreclosure auctions and through REO sales. This is an excellent time to purchase investment property in Atlanta.
