BIG is hosted by Don DeRosa who will be bringing in local and national real estate experts to teach new investors how to survive and thrive in our ever changing economy and real estate market.

Tues, May 19th at NOON
1633 Carter Rd, Decatur, GA
Renovation by Visions Group LLC
Funded by Chip Cagle of Longhorn Investments
Tuesday, May 19th @ NOON: The Onsite Renovation Group with Don DeRosa and Chrissy Griffin will be meeting at a newly completed rehab located at 1633 Carter Rd, Decatur, GA 30032. This property is now finished and under contract!
This beautifully transformed home at 1633 Carter Rd has been fully renovated by Natasha Turner of Visions Group LLC, with funding provided by Chip Cagle of Longhorn Investments. Originally a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offering approximately 1,400 square feet on a generous 0.37-acre lot, the property has been thoughtfully redesigned to maximize space, flow, and functionality.
The original layout featured a closed-off floor plan where only the living and dining areas were visible upon entry. The former carport had been converted into an additional room, and while the home featured original hardwood floors throughout most of the house, the kitchen flooring was inconsistent with the rest of the home.
Today, the property has been completely reimagined into a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. The former carport conversion has been transformed into a true owner’s suite, complete with a newly added private bathroom. The kitchen has been opened up to create a seamless view into the living room, enhancing the home’s flow and functionality. A stylish island has been added, making the space ideal for entertaining and everyday living.
Design upgrades include:
- New hardwood flooring installed for consistency throughout the home (with the exception of the primary bedroom)
- Hardwood floors stained a rich medium brown for a warm, modern finish
- New carpet installed in the primary bedroom for added comfort
- Accent walls for contemporary character and design appeal
- All new windows
- New interior and exterior doors
- Brand new HVAC system
- Newly created dedicated laundry room
Both bathrooms have been fully upgraded with luxurious finishes, delivering a modern and elevated aesthetic throughout.
This renovation blends thoughtful design, structural improvements, and high-quality finishes to deliver a move-in-ready home that meets today’s market expectations while maximizing value on a spacious Decatur lot.

Atlanta REIA wants to thank New Western and Longhorn Investment for sponsoring the Onsite Renovation Group.
