Another vote for Google Voice. It's a no-brainer in my opinion. 

@Ericka Parrott - thanks for the good questions. It’s really neither... pretty stable neighborhood area. There are 4 other duplexes around mine (all owned by the same guy).

@Andrew Syrios - Copy that. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

@Derek Tellier - thx for the reply. I plan on keeping it and renting it. Attempting the BRRRR strategy on this one. @David Smit - Wow! That did make a great difference! Thank you for sharing the photos. Y’all rock! Thx for taking the time to reply.

I'm about to pick siding color for my 1st rehab, and I'm wondering... All of the duplexes in the neighborhood are white vinyl. I know white is the cheapest. However, should I try and match the neighborhood, or should I pick something different? Is "standing out" or "blending in" better? Any advise or stories from experience is much appreciated.

Hey @Gregory Press! Glad to hear you’re coming to the next meet-up! And welcome to the ATL area. Looking forward to meeting you! 

Hey Gerald! Yes - it’s Aug. 16. Same place, same time. Also, check out the Facebook group we have. It’s called Southside EEE. We post the event  dates on there too. Glad you were able to come! 

@John Leavelle - I really appreciate your advise and taking the time to reply. It's a subject-to deal, so I'm still working thru the terms, but I will definitely take all that you've said and apply it. Thanks again!

Hey @John Leavelle - Thanks for the reply and for the insights! It's a duplex, so one side will be rented while the other side is undergoing rehab. I've included the holding costs in estimates. The reason for the loan trade-off is so that I can get my cash back after the refi. Although it's a higher interest rate (estimated) and higher payment, I'll have no cash in the deal at that point. Thoughts? 

Again, thank you for taking the time to help and respond. Much appreciated. 

@Jimmy Huynh - Thx for the reply. Yes - there is no down payment needed. The owner just wanted this property off his hands. He didn't have the $ for fix up needed. The up front cash needed is fix-up costs and and closing costs. 

@Scott Hensley - Again, thx for the reply. Yes - I'm managing the property and wanted to build in something for my time. And that's awesome about your fam near PTC. We live just outside in a smaller area called Brooks. We love it here! If you find yourself in the area, would love to connect!
