Do you have recommendations for a good Registered Agent that you have used and that did a good job? 

Regardless, guy did a great job so not going to complain about order of operations, but I am in a bit of pickle. 

Just to beat a dead horse, we could see a recession in the future where you and/or your spouse lose your jobs.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

I have done BRRRRs in Milwaukee for a decade+ and if I am not on the job 2-3 times a week, things go sub-optimal.

The Contractor is wrongly blamed for job over-runs when it is usually the clients fault.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

As I grow I will hire a virtual assistant to take a few more tasks off my plate to allow me to live the same lifestyle. 

Stable job for 20+ years.

Seeing that you are moving for job reasons, I would probably suggest option 4 until you learn if Seattle is going to be a permanent answer.
