Airbnb dominates SA, and to make matters worse, at cheap prices for amateurs.

Barret 416, rifles, hand guns, have a lot of experience with weapon safety issues and the very last thing I would do is allow or participate in amateur shooting since amateurs do the dummest things when they have a weapon in their hand.About two years ago at a place in Las Vegas where people pay to shoot weapons a woman fires something like a fully-automic AR-15, spun in a circle while firing and killed an employee.A .22 bullet gun is no safer than any other gun just because it is small because a .22 will travel 1-1/4 miles because it is so small.Regardless of how careful I am when shooting with friends, I've had many near-disasters like when I asked my friend three times whether or not he removed the bullets from the AR-15 chamber and then after transporting the gun from Las Vegas I opened the case and found the gun was fully-loaded and ready to fire with only the accidental pull of the trigger.

While that technically may be true, he's done 50+ rehabs and is currently in the middle of about a dozen new construction and major rehab projects in Atlanta right now, so he's certainly no amateur -- he's also my consultant on my new construction projects (meaning, I call him a couple times a day to ask him stupid questions :-).So, if you're in Atlanta and looking to get into big rehabs, take advantage of this opportunity. 

If you think hiring professionals is expensive, try paying for the clean up (or wasted time) of an amateur! 

This may be by far the most efficient way to get responses and be a step ahead of others as the MLS and Sheriff auctions are a thing for amateurs and seasoned investors.

A lot of states are enacting legislation to make it illegal to wholesale without a real estate license since too many amateurs are screwing up deals and f'ing over sellers, to be honest.But in the meantime:-EMD: It depends, but most wholesalers who are legit are putting in an EMD, even if it's just $100.

I'm sure you've heard the proverb "if you think its expensive to hire a professiona, try hiring an amateur".

@James AreThis is ridiculous bush-league landlording, and almost all of the responses you've received stink of amateur hour. 

Im a rookie so I'm sorry if this feels amateur.

The fact that you are asking this question of strangers indicates your property manager is an amateur.
