From the beginning, however, fell into a trap that so many other BiggerPockets members have echoed.

Hi Daniel - I don't specific experience but almost closed on a building but fell through.

A good 4 months and then the wheels fell off.

After he closed his offices most of those people fell off the radar too.Well this all I know.

But this would be the case for any city. if 50% of population fell the property price would fall even in John Creek where you are investing. 

I think you are underestimating the costs to get : 1) zoning change, 2) separately metered (both BGE and paying for electrical work, 3) It will open up your (possibly not 2 unit property) to be shut down by an inspector, you live in the city (canton or fells) good luck mate.

One of the people that met me there to see the house was 70ish year old guy who promptly tripped and stumbled/fell ten feet before landing in a pile of snow. 

Fell free to send me the details if you like.Matt

She fell behind.

Well - this dude just fell out of a flippin tree...haha  At least he was smart enough to allow a tree branch (me) smack him over the top of his head.
