If I were you, I would make triple~sure that you can make a great income (to dump into RE investing), in what you want to study and have as a career.Don't get me wrong, I am sure that 15th Century History, getting a Degree in Bohemian Studies, and maybe Underwater Basketweaving are pretty awesome, but will it make you money?

It sounds like it may be worth doing at least that due diligence.I just don't want to get so blindsided by what looks like a great deal that I get myself into trouble, as I know a lot of people do.... they walk into walls because they think its the deal of the century. 

Not sure if you have a realtor here but I have been using Brad Yakimchuk at Century 21.

Has anyone worked with an insurance company with solid rates for century old renovated duplexes in the Augusta/Atlanta area?

All are high dollar firms, I doubt you want to go there on a house deal.When you get to most RE types here, it's very possible (probable IMO) that they are not up on financing where a buyer in a RTO is credited with rents or in reducing a sale price which is credited from your payments, which is financing.To paint you a picture of this town, the World Headquarters of the Assemblies of God is here and we have the only Congressman elected in this century who only has a high school diploma and his other education was passing a RE broker's test.

I am in a position where I am ready to jump back in to the investing world and hit the ground running.I obtained my Utah sales agent license and set up with Century 21 to coincide my investing career so I am also  looking to help anyone who is looking to buy or sell properties.  

Wife is with Century 21 now and the commission structure was less up front than KW but way higher on the back end and very low office fees.  

It's a turn of the century house in the Highlands in Louisville, Kentucky, in a great neighborhood.

I actually affiliated with Century 21 Judge Fite in Arlington.  

Its an old brick building (turn of century like everything in the area).
