In addition to Wishing Well Hills, Decatur, Brookwood, and Smyrna/Marietta, you might also look into Powder Springs, Austell, and parts of Douglasville, as they offer more affordable options with solid rental markets.

If you move up into Pinellas/St Pete, Largo has some options.

Off-market deals give you control over pricing, terms, and creative financing options.

With the purchase option Bob has total control doesn't he. 

Of course, I totally understand that you wouldn't want to do if that guide is written by another real estate agency, in which case you have option 2.b.

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

BP serves as an excellent platform for networking and ongoing education.

Quote from @Stacey Wells: Hey everyone,I’ve been researching different funding options for real estate investments and business expansion.
