The market here is competitive but there are plenty of renters and I think betting on long term appreciation of prices in residential is a safe bet.

I'd run it by them, and if you send your specifics to @Mindy Jensen, I bet she'd take the time to offer you authoritative feedback too.The '@-mentions' for Manolo, Andrew and Joe didn't turn blue for some reason so I suspect they won't be notified of the mention.  

Amanda Moore I think your best bet is meeting with some locals like Dean above.

Yes, I have an LLC property management company that manages my properties and I do have a web site for it with information on the company, as well as, information on all of the properties it manages.

A quick call or web search might find the answer.

If you don't know what I am talking about, search the web for "Atlanta REIA" or "Conyers REIA" and you should see some local chapters.

My guess is that it will be a pretty big chunk of change to replace them and whether the return on investment would be worthwhile - I don't know but I'd bet no.
