Real estate investment opportunities abound in the U.S. from the bustling metropolitan areas of the Atlantic Coast to the sun-soaked cities on the West Coast.

Atlanta, Georgia - the capital of Georgia and Queen of the South - is one such city. Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the South and boasts the 9th-largest metro area population, with one of the most diverse populaces in the country.

Georgia features both non-judicial and judicial foreclosures, although non-judicial foreclosures are most commonly used. If a Power of Sale clause is included in the deed of trust or mortgage (and most of the time, one is included), lenders can initiate foreclosure proceedings without going through the courts. The process begins by a foreclosure notice being sent to the homeowner no later than 15 days before a foreclosure sale is to take place. But, the notice must be published in public for at least four weeks before the sale, so in effect, Georgia homeowners have roughly a month before a foreclosure sale can take place. The timeline for a non-judicial foreclosure, then, can be relatively quick, often around 90 days.

For a judicial foreclosure, a lender must petition the court and file a suit against the homeowner. The lender can also pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower for the remainder of the loan owed after the foreclosure sale.
