The good news is that I am really religious with my credit score so I've done my best to keep it high.I see that the more active you are in that lender's business the more likely they'd like to keep your business.I am always open to connecting with potential lenders to grow my network and hopefully, we can get a deal going together.

I have the Homan bus stop on my block, Roosevelt Rd Bus about a block away, and I-290 and Blue Line less than a mile north of me, not to mention Douglas Park which is now starting to attract music festivals and other positive events, which can someday attract potential (responsible) renters and/or buyers.

We get inquiries from people traveling for school, religious sabbaticals, medical treatments, to take care of relatives, summer employment (park service and forest service), temp. construction workers, people displaced by natural disasters, even beekeepers!

Buying my first house and after being told religiously to get title insurance I made it known I wanted it.

Throw into the mix all the emergency permits after the storm, and that definitely slowed things down for some contractors.I listen to On the Market pretty religiously and caught that episode. 

People travel there from Buckhead, Atlanta, Canton locally but there is also a lot of draw for events like the Ellijay Apple Festival, Jeep Fest, many local wineries, the views, weddings, etc.You do have to be careful about some properties road access when there is ice as the driveways and roads can be steep.

Property was an old Junior Religious College with multiple houses and out buildings that closed and needed to sell.

We don't have a board of directors so, no to a "board meeting", although we religiously document an annual meeting. 

Go on Loopnet and under property type select religious facilities, schools, other specialty.

I've read books, I get on BP religiously, I have been studying different ways to get into REI with little to no money because essentially that's my biggest downfall is no capital.
