-Rob,Greg, and Al I'd start with a real estate agent sending you all the new construction 2-4 family styles that have sold and pick one that is small and compact and sells for a premium.

My MN or Vegas PM isn’t going to help you in Atlanta.

I need to replace the AC and furnace at my rental property, (ranch-style home of 1256 sqft.)

All downtown columbus adjacent zips so 43203, 43205, 43206, 43207, 43223, 43222. would love to talk economics with you and send our floor plans see what you think and style you'd rent 

however for one living in CA I do like Vegas personally ( I have invested there) as I have invested in over 20 states.. what I like about Vegas is the age of the homes you would buy at 500 to 1 mil.. no really nasty weather that adds to differed maintenance..

Really depends on your preferred style.

Most sellers/homeowners only know 1 way to buy & sell, you the investor should have multiple acquisition tools in your tool belt that fit your investment style.

Now, you've got to buy right, furnish it with some style, and hire the right real-estate photographer.

It looks like the regulation will go the way of permitting and hotel-style taxation

Their styles, prices and quality are unbeatable, and they have huge stock.
