If you have the depth for an inside mount, I'd go that route with curtains, as mentioned previously. 

While the Agent mention that the seller would prefer no assignment, to which I acknowledged. 

Thanks for the mention, @Michael Plaks! 

I did not mention that it was an IRA LLC at either bank.

You could have it show up under 3 bedrooms when guests are looking for that, but you should mention in your description that it is 2 bedrooms + a loft. 

Listing price is at 130k and agent mentioned that the seller has wiggle room to drop the price.

I advertise the houses that way, even if there's an appliance or two that the previous owner has left in them and I don't mention them so that the people coming aren't (or shouldn't be) expecting to find them. 

I'm currently biased towards Indianapolis based on its job growth and affordability, but you could honestly find deals in any of the markets you mentioned (and if your heart is set on the Atlanta metro area, I'd strongly suggest the towns Union City and Fairburn based on their growth, appreciation, and price -- I almost closed on a good BRRRR deal in Fairburn but the rehab was just out of my budget). 

This has a cost but nothing close to what you’d have to pay investors in a pool, which is something else you mentioned.

Reflecting with the beaty of hindsight, I thought it might be worth revisiting some of the strategies mentioned here to explore how they’ve played out over the past year.For example, in early 2023, property values in areas like Bay Park and Clairemont were climbing fast, but they’ve since stabilized a bit.
