@Robert Collins  Hi I just CCed you on an augusta buy and hold email list I have of a few owners in Augusta. 

Thank you so very much for taking your valuable time to write down those precious advices.

To you there's no difference between Augusta va Atlanta right?

Checkbook LLCs do have there place in certain investments such as crypto currency, tax sales, overseas purchases and storage of precious metals, etc. 

I certainly don't want to waste anyone's precious time on the telephone, and I absolutely want to instill both confidence and trust with all of the sellers I reach out to.Can anyone please help me put together a list of questions that I would want to make sure to ask sellers when I get them on the phone?

@Gustavo WoltmannHolding a small (and I mean small) 2-3% of precious metal shares is not a terrible idea.

I have a very busy and unpredictable work schedule, a newborn, and I’m in grad school so time is precious right now. 

There are fees associated with purchasing and selling precious metals and this took me over a week and a half and I actually lost $500 on this.

I have two multi-family properties in Augusta which is about the median price range for the state- northern Maine cheaper, southern is higher.  1BRs are 650/mo, 2BRs 750, 3BRs 1200. 

I'm in the due diligence period on a property in Augusta, GA.
