.- Investors get access to real estate cash flow with lower costs and no landlord responsibilities.- The whole process is simplified—no co-ownership legal headaches.I’m curious about the pros and cons of something like this.

What other options would be good?  

Be sure to research rental demand, zoning laws, and financing options before deciding.

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

I know I already mentioned this, but @Mordy Chaimovitz...If you can get by with lower cash flow and invest for the long-term generational wealth (aka appreciation) in nice neighborhoods, that is the way to go, but it's tough to get by at times -- at least it is for me.Just know everyone's situation is different, and you should do what is best for your specific circumstances!

I haven't seen prices drop too dramatically but I have seen homes in my buy box sitting on the market longer and some lowering prices. 

At this stage, you can also discuss creative financing options, like seller financing, that might help bridge the gap between what you can afford and what they’d like to get for the property.

If you are willing to entertain areas outside Gainesville, you should look into areas like South Fulton, Forest Park ( lots of lower priced inventory) Jonesboro, and College Park to name a few.
