Conveniently located just minutes from the interstate, this home offers an easy commute to Bangor and Newport, while Etna Pond and its public boat launch are just a short drive away.

Welcome, Richard - What property types / strategies are you intersted in? 

That being the next "big" city along the interstate but you are talking about smaller cities even further south than that.To attract more interest, a higher population and greater economic or job growth are necessary.

Larger cities offer better infrastructure, such as international airports, interstate highways, and a broader talent pool, making them attractive to businesses and tenants.Avoid Rent ControlRent control laws can hinder your ability to adjust rents to match inflation, limit tenant screening, and complicate evictions.

Yes, I'm looking at 4 plex units renting the three and living in the other intersted in the more up and coming areas.

The next RE play is going to be building ammo stores on the interstate and state lines between CA and NV and Oregon and WA and ID..

It is very intersting to see what markets and why you as experienced investors go for that market.

A lender who understands investors, an agent to find solid deals, a contractor you trust to handle rehabs efficiently, and a property manager to stabilize properties quickly.For financing, look into hard money loans - quick closes, interst ony payments, short terms, etc.

I went with Interstate appliance on Brook Park Rd.

Admittedly, pricing will often account for any major items, and I don't believe this is true in Sandy Springs, but there are some areas that an interstate cuts off a small part of the neighborhood, and so labeling the neighborhood as "good" may be true for 90% of that neighborhood, but if you are in the 10% that is on the "wrong side" of the interstate, it can be a totally different market.
