I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

Basically, the further you get away from the city the more potential for cashflow, but you're also dealing with a different tenant base that may be tougher to manage.

sounds like someone got a nasty gram.. we see this with the syndicators that are called out then threaten the investor who called them out.. or anyone else companing about a service only to have the company either threaten or tell them if you take this down or retract we will give you your money back.. kind of like landlords lying about how great their dead beat tenant is to just get them to move on to the next landlord. 

While I’m not in a rush, I aim to strategically invest and grow a portfolio over the next 3–5 years to make a smooth exit from the corporate grind, as reporting to an office daily has left me feeling burnt out.What strategies would you recommend?

I am currently in the bit of a rutt.

Be the cheapest and best.

We called the number and were able to view the property within a few hours.

Apparently there are significant differences in tenant "quality" from one street to the next.

You can lean into the seasonality of the school year Fall-Spring, then list for MTR in the summer?

It's tough to work with corporate seller's.However, there is a TON of investable inventory in the Atlanta market right now that is institutionally owned where there process is very ridged.
