Reading between the lines of your message, it sounds like you may have unrealistic expectations for the condition of vacant Atlanta properties that are sold for unpaid taxes. 

Investigate the reasons behind vacancies before proceeding.Unreliable Cash Flow: Inconsistent or declining cash flow projections may suggest unrealistic expectations or hidden expenses.

That's unrealistic after a year unless you're doing a certain level of rehab, which it does sound like NACA pays for renovations although I'm unsure how much.All this information I took directly from their website - https://www.naca.com/faq/gener...

I’ve even seen 0% a few times and those properties have not sold on the MLS, they turned into expired listings/ FSBOs and have still not sold (unrealistic sellers obviously).

If my plan were to continue with OOS properties, I'm sure I'd keep searching here or just go through OCF...but I made the decision to stick with my local area and a few overseas locations.It's also important to be realistic about what kind of return you will be getting with a TK investment....Anything in double-digits is unrealistic for any TK, IMO. 4-6% return is more realistic. 

- Our end goal is to use the properties to replace our current income with a goal of 35-50k in passive income a month, are these numbers and the plan too unrealistic?

The investors that seem to be the most unsatisfied like yourself are the one’s that buy 1 or 2 properties and in Engelo’s/my opinion have unrealistic expectations.2) The property management team did a fantastic job based on your comments here.

@Ellie Narie we don't manage Class D rentals because they are extremely difficult to manage.Yet, owners are unrealistic and expect Class A or B results from them!

If it's unrealistic and not a good fit, they would not be hesitant to end the conversation on a good note and move on to the next lead/appointment.

Or is it unrealistic?
