I hadn't looked at the photos before. It looks like a dump, except maybe the stove? You would need to redo the entire kitchen.
Plus, no idea how to fix the hideous exterior.

Bring the bars from the windows in to be scrapped first, though. There's, like, $23 worth of iron there.

This kind of thing explains why Atlanta is so damn competitive.

That's a fairly generous definition of "mansion."

Blast from the past. Some of my friends used to live on that block during their law school days.

Main question: Was your Big Law salary reduced because of competitive factors such as low class ranking, no resume bling, and/or lack of negotiation room when working out your offer?

Have to ask because I know people in Big Law who've definitely purchased homes in better areas since.
