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.

My biggest recommendation would be to go to Meetup.com and join every local multifamily meetup you can find and attend them religiously.

I have been watching the podcast religiously and educating myself.

Painters, photographer, Radio dj, festival entertainer, videographer etc.

The tenants have been paying the rent religiously.
