I will do research on the Turnkey options out there, my only concern there is the lack of leverage of being able to get a loan so I can have an investment property worth 3-4x the amount I put in.I grew up in North Carolina and have family there, so considering that area.

I grew up out there and know the area pretty well. 

I grew up in NY and worked in the Big Apple for the past 7 years.

I grew up in Hialeah, please let me know how i can direct you.

After putting in about $15k in to the house to "fix it up" ( mainly finishing floors and coating the horse hair plaster) my equity grew but of $40K.  

I do not necessarily want to move back to where I grew up either.

Almost invariably, those individuals say the one's who get it done are those who "jumped in", "grew a pair", or "pulled the trigger".

I grew up in an atmosphere where my family had rentals and so now at 32 I currently have a house and duplex that I rent out here in California.  

As far as Tucker and Lawrenceville, I grew up in Tucker and we have a position in Lawrenceville.

I grew up around property management and we are planning on self managing.
