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.

And even if you hire a property manager to take things off your plate, that process isn’t foolproof, as Gregory illustrates.Buying a turnkey property (ideally with a tenant in place), or opting for a syndication or fund, could be a better bet if you’re looking to invest outside California but don’t want to deal with the hassles of “landlording.”

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!

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)

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

I am betting for the appreciation of the house in the next years because I don't think I can cash flow in the first years.  

Like contact cases, wrapped toothbrushes among other things.They do get used and I am sure they are appreciated.They might not state it in their 5 star review, but I am betting that it creates positive thoughts and that helps the reviews.

Plus I bet the contract calls for mandatory mediation.. if the parties cant agree..

And of course it has worked incredibly well on the money raising side.. what I see happening is a very natural progression with someone who has the visibility and popularity as Brandon.. it takes a huge support staff and fulfillment team to create what we are seeing.I think you are on to something.I think Brandon's role is not necessarily to find the deal or to manage the deal.
