Top 10 Atlanta Zillow Investment Listings Ranked by Cash-on-Cash Return
Ten Atlanta rental listings from Zillow ranked by cash-on-cash return. SE and SW SFRs, a foreclosure, and a $50K condo with Realy metrics and investor notes.
These ten listings were pulled from Atlanta Zillow markets (30315, 30316, 30331, 30318, 30310) and ranked by cash-on-cash return (CoC) using Realy’s Chrome extension, sorted by highest CoC first.
All ten listings show positive CoC under lean assumptions. Sub-$100K SFRs and distressed inventory lead. A few rows show extreme rent-to-price (multi-bed at a deep discount). Treat those as condition and comps checks first.
This is a screening list, not a buy list.
