Its become a hip-urban nook with 3 very popular breweries, restaurants, cafe's and a bike shop within 1-2 blocks, 1/2 mile easy access to I25 (interstate) and right on the main tourist route.  

., I invest only north of interstate 30.

It's at a signalized intersection that sees about 11,000 vehicles per day, and can be seen from the interstate 0.5 miles away by another 32,500 vehicles per day. 

I have a Finacial A whom I’m not intersted to work with paying 1% commission w one of big boxes.

@Adam Kuszczak most major metro cities will follow the same pattern...the "inner city" will be largely original housing stock...late 1800s to mid 1900's...developments typical radiate from the city center with age...so, 1950's through 1980's built properties are usually 3-5 miles from city center with the newest concentration of properties outside of interstate bypasses (usually forming a circle or partial circle around metro areas)...there is infill building and exceptions to these rules, but property age will be your #1 determining factor of where the properties you are targeting will be located.Building materials and methods of construction (along with codes) were very different from one decade to the next, but homes are surprisingly sturdy and most anything can be fixed.

Less than 3 miles from Interstate 485, Ballantyne Corporate Park, endless shopping/dining options, and the new Ballantyne Reimagined development.

I'm a homeowner and the idea of house hacking would have been great as i'm intersted in owning rental properties but with a family this is not a realistic option. 

When u get a chance, Google this article, "A Brief History of How Racism Shaped Interstate Highways" 04/07/21 - NPR. 

But it works, simplified, like if you owed $500 to CA but paid state XX $300, then you only have to pay CA the $200 difference.CA may not be able to get blood from a turnip, but they will suck that turnip dry before they let it go.Likewise if you, say, play professional sports for a team in state XX, live in state XX, make $20,000,000 a year, play 1 out of 20 games in CA, they want that 1/20th of that two million taxed in CA...but they will give a credit for the taxes you paid in state XX according to the interstate agreement. 

I have not heard of 'ppoint' either, but one deal that I passed on of 10 units when he did sell it to someone else there WAS a clause that he had to pay the equivalent of 5 years of interst even if he refinanced in a year or so.
