I will be focusing on Fulton County, GA; and other metro counties that borders Atlanta, GA. 

I just did a class with Borders and Borders, any good title company would advise against it for the seller.

I'd prefer something very close to the border, but would be willing to drive up to 40 or so minutes past the border.

Shaker Heights is good but it can be street by street and some of the border areas could be a problem.Overall there are some great investment opportunities here but like many big cities there are pockets of both good and bad. 

I started my day yesterday awoken by Blackhawk choppers and a convoy of border patrol trucks and boats in front of my house....then by walking to the main road outside my neighborhood to see where they were off to. 

(and I say this as an avowed pessimist, bordering on misanthrope)Locate and attend local REIA meetings.

In case it is a single member the taxes are done on your personal return.If you want a more professional treatment I suggest you contact Borders and Borders real Estate Attorneys.

I have some property on the border of Crete.

I have just moved near the southern border of Livonia a few months ago from Toledo Ohio and am eager to get started with investing in real estate.  

Contact the county or local planning department to see if there are any issues with building on the property - bring donuts and make friends as these people will make or break you.If you are unsure of the borders of the property, then have the seller order a professional survey be done.If there is a Department of State Lands or similar in your region then find out about any special delineations on the property.Find out about power.
