I'm in the Anthony Barbato boat wit most of my properties.

Hello, BP folks.I currently live in Atlanta and my real estate history is short:I househacked my townhome until I sold it, and now I househack my 2/2 condo.Having witnessed the benefits, as well as the downside, of house-hacking, I'm interested in purchasing my first (and if successful, then more) rental property.

I'd just try a bunch of them out and tweak as necessary to make yourself comfortable w/ it.

Thanks in advance for the responses. can't wit to learn

But I’m at my wits end.

After witnessing the explosion of stuff rapidly accumulating in my house, I am not too thrilled.  

One thing I have witnessed several times is a buyer quickly offering full price to tie up the property then, within the inspection period, requiring that the seller either make all of the repairs at no cost to the buyer, or discount it based on the repairs the buyer says it needs.

Just my 2 cents - Your realtor is a "successful and high producer".. we have one of those in my area and I have witnessed this guy that has a fairly large team under price at least 2 properties.  

Who are the witnesses to the contract?  

I witnessed it first hand as I was already actively appraising during the housing meltdown.
