Hi @Herb Mitchell Welcome to Bigger Pockets and best of luck to you! 

If you won't be occupying a unit and at least one of the units is occupied by a tenant, you will want to purchase a landlord dwelling policy (there are other options besides a landlord policy but I won't get into that here). 

That means an 800K purchase and a 200K rehab (1 million invested) can result in a 400K tax credit that results in 360K CASH back in the pocket of the investor.  

I have two options.

I don't necessary want to quit my job but having the option to do so is desired.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

Another option: visit the property (or have your new PM do so) and post a notice on the door instructing the tenant to contact the new PM immediately.4.

You don't have to spend a fortune and buy a house directly on the beach to do well, but your starting price point for a viable option in this market is around $350-$450k for a solid 2-3 bedroom oceanfront condo or around $500k for a 3-4 bedroom house within walking distance of the beach. 

But you have a few different options.
