my concern is your mention going to a feeder event.. the 3 day work shop then you have to pay the big dollars this is exactly what the gurus who are backed by fulfillment companies do. 

We know no more about him than you have told us, but just the list of items you mention give me pause - "He's been trying to get into real estate for 6 1/2 years."  

I'll take a peek at those you mentioned.

As someone who's looking for solid B-class break even property to just hold and appreciate, I'm confused why ATL barely gets mentioned here and other places online. 

Final update.Project completed.Rented and Refi, this project as I mentioned is the first out of town investment we've purchased, I have uploaded final pictures I hope you like it.the deal when well, I had to leave more money in the deal that I wanted but over all a great experience, because we started with the BRRRR we fined contractors right away and we felt confidante and that give us the push we needed to purchase more, so now we are proud the report that we have 3 properties (4 doors, 1 duplex 2 houses) that all are rented and cash flowing well, and also one more under contract!!!!

When operators mention employer names or area amenities, they should look at where their actually tenants work and pitch that vs just big name companies whose employees might not ever live in the building.They always pitch no capital calls, but will be interesting to see how investors fair after inhouse loans will be paid off to the properties they needed to do that with. 

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

.- You mentioned you don't need the money right now, so holding onto the property could provide long-term rental income and potential appreciation.Here’s what you should consider:- **Financing Costs**: If you decide to rent, ensure you factor in all expenses, including mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.- **Market Conditions**: Check the local rental market to see if $1450 is competitive and if there's a high demand for rentals in your area.- **Long-term Goals**: Think about your long-term investment strategy.
