The landlord/tenant balance is not necessarily in our favor, but much of the uproar is overblown.

I think the market is in our favor.  

Almost all full-time real estate agents know nothing about investing and urgency, so a part-timer who feels like they are doing you a favor will certainly not.A couple of notes, though.

However, with current interest rates at 7% to 8%, it can be challenging to see favorable returns.

These deals often come with less competition, giving you a better shot at negotiating favorable terms and securing lucrative investments.A mix of long-term vision and a solid reputation can supercharge your growth.

It honestly depends on your strategy - LTR, STR, flip, wholesale, etc. the tenant / landlord laws in CA are in favor of the tenant which often scares people.

Based on my research so far, Atlanta seems to be one of the places with a favorable gross rental multiplier, good prospect for appreciation, and sales price around the budget I am looking for and hence I chose Atlanta.

The contractor I used did it more as a favor so I will need to reach out to others so see who will be on board.  

Made this offer a few times over course of 6 months and gave up on it and the seller came back with favorable contract.

If you own real estate in the LLC for 10+ years with no claims, you will certainly benefit from favorable insurance pricing, same would apply to operating any business under the LLC name.
