I agree prices are very high, however, the rents are also correspondingly high, and there is never a shortage of tenants in our area, which another bonus.  

Given the shortage of qualified contractors and trades it might take a while for the gap to close.

On the market potential there - even though it's a stagnant mostly rural area, evidently there is a relative shortage of rental properties, and a relative surplus of folks who don't qualify for a mortgage or can't save for down payment.

There is a shortage of competent property managers in the Atlanta area, but I'm sure you figured that one out already.

There is no shortage of information on the site.  

There seems to be a shortage of new homes here (my opinion) but would be interested in hearing what a realtor would have to say about that.

This must be a small world or just a small shortage of lawyers that do this.My next attorney to contact was a Christopher Goode.

This is helping to bring down the OER's to something more reasonable.Bottom line, there are plenty of deals to find, and a shortage of quality rentals in the single family market, but while you can get in for a small amount of money, your cash flow is going to be hampered by the absurd real estate taxes.Happy investing,Troy

@James Wise  issue you have in our state is that there is a HUGE shortage of SFR's  so your competing against folks that want to live in the homes.. not many SFRs are bought for rental purposes.. 

Once tenant came out, I quickly rerented the house as a rooming house ... where I need to pay utilities. in Atlanta there is a shortage of rooming houses, so rooming houses are the only way to get tenants in immediately(area is rough, if I have property vacant it will be quickly stripped... also as a rooming house I got a 30k house rented for 2k... not bad!).
