If they do, it may be one or 2 comments/questions then they are ghost forever.

                        - Renting: pro's- not 100% certain CLT is forever, makes easy to relocate.

This negative position can consume years of cash flow to recover.

The east and the west side are a little run down, but I don't expect that to be the case forever.

Foreclosure is expensive and time-consuming, so most lenders won't even begin the process of foreclosure until payments are 4-6 months behind.In a non-judicial foreclosure state like Georgia, the four weeks of public notices are all the advanced notice you're gonna get as an investor!

Door lock, detector batteries, other consumables, replacement of damaged or disappearing items like pool towels and linens, replacing blown out screens (I spent over a grand just on screens last year though we did have a freak huge hail storm).

One of the most important aspects but its always a time consuming aspect that most put off and miss out....

The investor will start with a large negative position that will consume the initial cash flow.  

I've gone broad because I want to learn about things outside of multifamily and I have experience as a consumer in strip malls and storage.

You may be best trying to settle to split the EMD so it doesn't sit in escrow forever.
