I’m looking to stay with CRMLS & move to an MLS only broker.

@Diana Teng there are a LOT of potential pitfalls:(So, it's vitaly important to not just find someone that you think you can trust because they tell you what you want to hear, but you find someone that their processes seem a good fit for what you want.EXAMPLE: we do BRRR Turnkeys for clients and take numerous vides we share with them - initial, worst state of any demo, when HVAC, plumbing, electrical update BEFORE walled in, before any major payouts and of course a final walk-thru video.One thing that's accurate from all the HGTV renovation/flip shows is that you should expect and plan for surprises!

Also depends on what you mean by modest income and bad credit....Worst case like someone else mentioned, you could stay in this property and buy the next with a DSCR.

I have a client that owns a few properties off Web Gin House and they stay rented to long term tenants due to the schools.I'd be very selective and conservative on your numbers going into Decatur / Smyrna / Marietta for a 3/2 LTR - lots of rentals in these areas and can be tough to lease up.

Average rents are hovering around $1,100 a month, and properties are getting snatched up fast, with vacancy rates staying low.

I have a local representative who can meet the sheriff, but I've heard the arrival window can be quite long and the sheriff won't stay there long.

Let’s stay in touch and see if there are any deals we can collaborate on!
