Consider your long-term goals and define what you want to achieve.

Build a team of trusted people / advisors (ie contractors, lenders, realtors, wholesalers, drafters, architects, title reps, escrow officers, etc to m are sure you all achieve success!) 

This is a great place to connect with those that can help you achieve your objectives.

Which is very important, and hard to achieve with a person you just met (leads, open houses, Facebook groups) While you may work with 'strangers' from these groups in your career, typically you will work with folks you already have a relationship with.

The CAP rates aren't great, the vacancy rates are high, majority of multi-family locations are in areas with unreliable tenants.Overall, it just seems like it's difficult to achieve reliable passive income here. 

The houses are typically brick, 3 bed and ranch style and although there is crime in 38118, it has a strong tenant base and these are some of my better performing houses.

Looking forward to what we can achieve together.Warm regards,BelievenStephen

******************************Ok, here are my typical approaches to a complex assignment.1) determine the most important value characteristics within my subject market (location, school district, # of units, size, lot size, bedroom/bath count, remodeled, new build, specific style, other amenities, etc.)2) research available comparable sales (with those important characteristics found above) within the designated market area3) in the absence of recent good comparable sales, I will expand my search back in time, even 5 years (or more) if need be.

I just happened to talk to a Realtor talking about a strategy in southern Atlanta like towards the airport that involved developing on raw land with tiny home-style units for affordability.
