I bet it looks very amateurish.

If your goal is to offset your mortgage with a house hack then Lowell would be a good bet, but if you're looking for a longer term appreciation play then the areas closer to the city would be better, although the offset from cashflow may be lower than what you're looking for.A good step for you would be to dig into specific areas more as @Lien Vuong noted above.

I have 21 units and have recently formed a Series LLC for all 21 units. That has gone smoothly with the exception of one unit that I have my disabled brother living in. I have placed 50% ownership of that one unit in ...

Best bet is likely (not absolute - everyone's situation is different) is to look at a national lender or broker that has options in lots of states - its a great development versus 20 odd years ago, with technology, internet, places like this - can have access to many more options than before (local broker or lender thats it)

You bet I did.

You can probably just Google how many pre-licensing hours and education you need for your state in Georgia but I bet its around 20-30!

I agree with you about the amount of sub 2 deals out there that make any kind of sense I get the feeling investor just think these things are out there as low hanging fruit to be plucked.. when nothing is further from the truth at least deals that would make sense to me and you .. of course there are always suckers that think over paying or paying full retail just to do a sub 2 is some great move. :)  but its like any paid training the reality of deal flow is greatly glossed over.

The departing tenant says she will continue paying rent, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Quote from @Brett Jurgens: @Jay HurstThanks for responding3.75%, 30yr fixedLike others have said, with that interest rate your best bet is probably to do a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to put towards an investment that you can quickly recoup your initial investment on.

The settl4ement was private, but I bet it was at least $400k knowing the attorney's involved, maybe more.
