From there, you can research through zillow/redfin whatever but your best bet would be to find an investor/agent (I a one but based in Fort Lauderdale) who can guide you through the process.

Warner Robin's is another great market...there's  an airforce base and it's in close proximity to Macon which makes it ideal.

I still think it's a good investment based off the numbers above regardless. 

Our PM company signs various ones for both our residential and commercial landlords with similar language and base pricing.

Time is money in the service world and you should expect a base charge if a PMC has to send a ServiceTech to fix something that truly only take 10 minutes to do.

Real estate is not my of my knowledge base at all but I want to start working on building passive income now (I’m 44). 

We go through Tilton, Thomas and Morgan, which is based here in Missouri. 

I did work for a commercial real estate investor prior to jumping into syndication, so that gave me a strong knowledge base to start with.

I would focus on credit, consider some alternative options to "free your Benjamins" out of your home, or even consider doing a partial sale of your home to give you capital to get back at it!
