What does the rental market look like in Atlanta? (East Point: apartment, renters)

[VirtualM]

I live in East Point, looking to move into a bigger home but hang onto my 2/2 bungalow and have renters for a few more years - we're just not ready to sell. What experience have any of you had with renting in the Atlanta area? How's the rental market doing around here?

Though I don't have rental property, I think you can do very well. Case-in point- With the mortgage fallout crisis going on alot of people can't get qualified for loans. So they have to rent, and they want a home to rent. The last thing they want to do is go back to an apartment. The apartment industry is starting to take advantage of this- you can see monthly rents and occupancy rates are starting to tick back up again. The ol' supply and demand theory at its finest.

I found alot of beautiful rental homes in very nice well planned areas for under 1500 amonth...google atlanta rental homes, there are tons of them...only problem is not knowing which are in nice areas and which ones are in areas that are going downhill, hard to know...def have to go visit first here,.
