OLD stock yazoo clay and houses that originally were built as cheap as you can build .. of course not all but a vast majority of what you folks buy for cash flow rentals.then  on top of that a VERY tough tenant base and that market can really frustrate folks I owned over 200 of those and the happiest day of my life was when my partners bought me out for 4k a door.. done gone and good luck lOL

As noted above, even though Fair Oaks is a mere 20 minutes from East Cobb, the respective markets are vastly different.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Many investors offer residential 1-4 unit financing but a vastly smaller percentage offer 5+ units.

I know how to structure deals so I have some (even if low) while I am confident of vast appreciation.

I'll draw on my vast--er, 8 months--of experience :)All the best as you get started in MTRs!!

This will not only protect your personal assets from any potential renter who is looking to sue, but it also will vastly help the underwriters track income when looking to get approved for future loans.
