Yet the growth in tourists to the area is still solid.  

What sticks is based on how you throw it, not how many you throw. 

These risks include, but are not limited to, lack of liquidity, limited transferability, conflicts of interest and real estate fluctuations based upon a number of factors, which may include changes in interest rates, laws, operating expenses, insurance costs and tenant turnover.Investors should also understand all fees associated with a particular investment and how those fees could affect the overall performance of the investment.

I'm currently biased towards Indianapolis based on its job growth and affordability, but you could honestly find deals in any of the markets you mentioned (and if your heart is set on the Atlanta metro area, I'd strongly suggest the towns Union City and Fairburn based on their growth, appreciation, and price -- I almost closed on a good BRRRR deal in Fairburn but the rehab was just out of my budget). 

Based on my experience and in my opinion, I cannot recommend ABC Baltimore, Maverick Investor Group or Hipster Investments.The investment was a BRRR purchase in Baltimore where we would pay $106,000; $46,000 for the property + $60000 for a full rehab that was going to be completed in 120 days.

For my clients, in every city I am set-up in I have an agent who pulls all the comps and writes up an opinion on the value based on size, area, finishes, market. 

The numbers don't make sense to me, based on their descriptions.The most dubious is "First page search impression rate"Airbnb defines it as the percentage of time your listing shows up in the top 10 results when a guest searches for a location/date.I have 30 listings in a market with 20,000+ homes available, and they all have a "First page search impression rate" of 40-60%. 

When purchasing, my goal was to cash flow a certain dollar amount based on the open market or section8 rates.

I'd probably stay away just based off that.

I have a few questions and points, which I'll ask below, but this is definitely a question for a NYC based real estate attorney who is educated and experienced with both evictions and rent stabilization.
