I would talk to CRE broker or see what other developments are going up nearby.

However, there are some things that don't make sense to me:- The properties in the nearby area are listed for much more- Judging by what I read on BP, most good deals are found off-market these days whereas this property is on the MLS- This property has been listed for 6 weeks and is not even under contract, contingent, accepting backup offers, etc.

Being out of state, my knowledge of Atlanta is quite limited, and I'm hoping to get a better sense of the neighborhoods.Are there any good neighborhood guides to Atlanta or other resources that show crime rate, population growth, home values, etc of various cities and towns nearby?

Still affordable, (except way more competitive right now), solid rents from $700-1k+ in good neighborhoods, decent economy with Cleveland clinic and other anchor companies in the area and nearby university.

Does any one know about any meet ups in Shorewood, IL or nearby? 

My name is Dylan Raiche-Snater, and I am actively looking to perform the leg work for fellow investors in the Rochester, MN and nearby area. 

With the university of Chicago nearby, it should stay booked. 

I’ve never added any college type housing to my portfolio for various reasons and may just continue to stock pile cash for now

I have also raised laundry prices to match any nearby laundry mats.

Unfortunately most of the markets I'm interested in (and that I can afford) aren't near by and I also don't have a whole lot of personal experience or a ton of 'feet on the ground' already so to speak regarding the markets of interest.
