That's part of what makes Canada one of the Top 10 happiest countries on earth, ranking seven spots higher than America

The earth shifts and the age of the home have a lot to do with that.

Why on earth do you think this would work or this is a  good investment?

Use google earth to take a virtual walk around the neighborhood to get a pretty decent idea of the type of area you're looking at.

Maybe do some google earth “drives” through areas you like.

@Brandon Ho Why on earth would you go to a dealership to pick up a car for someone you have never met? 

@Mike McCarthy thank you for inspiring me to google earth the address listing!

Hello Douglas,I don't know Hiawassee Georgia, but Google Earth shows an awesome view around the property ( so good location)It looks like a good deal,  Cash on Cash ROI at 14% and Cap Rate 8.19%, I would not complain, just make sure the vacancy is sufficient, it looks like a small town.Also, I see you are estimating 5% rate, so I am assuming you will buy on your name if so, make sure you get a good "Landlord Insurance"Once purchased, after a couple of months, or a year, if funds available, I would build a large porch, extend the metal roof, add a deck, replace the bath vanity/faucet and kitchen faucet, have it appraised/refinanced raise rent and see if you can get some of the $36k out, so you don't have to wait 5 years to get it back through Cashflow.Perhaps you can use Airbnb.Best of luck with your project 

You can not go wrong with whites, off whites, and light earth tones for paint on the interior.

I *could* add another meter; however, its several thousand bucks, several permits, and a curious county asking why on earth would I want another meter on a SFH :)@Mart Brosas Best of luck to you with your first property, I think house-hacking is the easiest way in, and makes the most sense due to good financing options for owner-occupied.
