Section 2: Location Deep Dive: Metro Atlanta

This property is situated in one of the most expensive and high-end areas of Atlanta, more specifically, an upscale area. This location is highly desirable and often attracts executives from major companies headquartered nearby, such as Home Depot, UPS, and State Farm.

Area Amenities:

  • Close proximity to the I-285 city loop.
  • Abundant shopping, high-end restaurants, and specialty boutiques.
  • Access to concert/performing arts venues, comedy shows, and dance clubs.
  • Excellent private schools, parks, and walking trails.

Section 3: The Strategic Investment Plan (6 Steps)

The plan is designed to minimize renovation costs and leverage long-term holding benefits before a final sale.
  1. Purchase: Acquisition via a special auction.
  2. Mortgage: Secure an acquisition + renovation loan – estimated int. rate is 9.5%
  3. Renovation: Minimal and functional—fix broken items and ensure the house is operational, rather than a full “bells & whistles” flip.
  4. Refinance: Secure a lower interest rate mortgage, with a lower int. rate (estimated 7.5%)
  5. Hold-Rent (12-24 Months): Rent the property for this period to:
    • Benefit from long-term capital gains.
    • Qualify the house for a 1031 Exchange sale.
    • Wait for slower economic times to pass.
  6. Sell.

Fees and Profit Sharing – MUST READ

  • The auction doesn’t pay any agent fees, therefore you will need to add a 1.5% buyer agent fee to the winning bid amount.
  • Profit sharing*: a 15% profit sharing will be paid to Simply Do It when you sale the property within 24 months, or pay 15% of fair market value, that will be determined by a 3rd parry BPO report or an appraisal, to Simply Do It within 24 months in case buyer decided to continue holding the property.
    • Profit is defined as selling price, minus sales expenses, minus loan amount, minus total investment capital to date.

Section 5: Renovation, Rental, and Risk Assessment

Renovation Strategy

Important Note: An onsite tour is scheduled for Thursday, December 4th. The overall approach is to make the house nice and ready for a high-end tenant. We assume the future buyer will want to renovate the house to their own tastes, so significant luxury spending will be avoided.
  • Current Condition: The house is in “fairly good shape, but somewhat dated”.
  • Anticipated Fixes: Kitchen floor and some cabinets are missing or broken. Miscellaneous work includes HVAC, cleaning/fixing the pool equipment, and power washing/coating the large deck. The kitchen will also need a full set of high-end large appliances.

Rental Forecast

  • Local Rent Range: Smaller houses in the area are renting between $10,000 to $16,000 a month.
  • Strategy: Offer an attractive rent amount to motivate a tenant to move in quickly and avoid long vacancy periods.
  • Cash Flow Note: The current high interest rate is expected to generate a negative cash flow of $3,000 to $5,000 per month. These funds are factored into the total required investment.
    • Negative cashflow is expected to last until property is sold

Market & Risk Assessment

  • Local Market (Updated Nov 22 2025): Approximately 50 large, high-value houses are listed for sale in the greater area, with the longest listing at 230 days.
Key Risks/Unknowns:
  1. No full house inspection has been completed, and you may not have an opportunity to do so after the bid is won.
  2. Uncertainty regarding how long it will take to lease the house at a high price point.
  3. Uncertainty regarding how long it will take to sell the house.
