. - If the neighborhoods I've scouted are less than Cs please let me know.

I scout home prices and neighborhoods daily as a hobby of mine.

I second the idea of listening the podcast on investing in homes in a college town.As a UF alum with a daughter in school there now, I have an interest in Gainesville  too and actually made a scouting trip up there a few months ago. 

My business is different and scouting out needle in the haystack deals is not my core competency.

The problem is (and it's a good problem to have) that I have a good 130-140K sales job and my wife doesn't work so it would be tough to leave that to go full time with investing.I guess my question is, does anyone have any insight or contacts that can offer some advice on real estate investment firms or mom & pop firms in Atlanta area that may be looking for someone like me that has 16+ years of sales/marketing experience and a passion for scouting/analyzing deals, rehabbing and managing contractors, leasing/managing properties and bringing on investors?  

They will be able to help scout deals.

BP has much to offer if you need any help scouting out some good properties feel free to contact me!

I will be in the Cullowhee area this coming Thursday, August 4th to look at properties and scout at the area as I drive for dollars with my daughter who is very familiar with the area. 

Do you have a partner (battle buddy) here on the ground to be your scout?  

Let me know if I can help formulate your investment strategy, scout our properties and run the numbers for you.Best,Rod
