I'm not familiar with the area, but it seems that tenants would need some form of public transport near by or a car. 

Leaving the airport with MARTA was the smoothest  transportation I've had with an airport. 

We did some peculiar things with the mods including omitting the typical ceiling frame on the first floor mods, balloon framing floors within the mods to create loft spaces and designing 15'-0" tall mods that required special carriers to transport.

In my area, proximity to schools & supermarkets are a big PLUS to families since they rely on walking and mass transit for transportation.

Depending on the State, the Divisions of RE and Mort Lending may now regulate otherwise unregulated areas such as this.Would anyone here like to tell us what to watch out for?

Some people have their own WD, but unless you're in a C-/D area, most will not have  their own fridge.. even if the  potential tenants like the place, they gotta budget another$500-$1K for a fridge, who wants that's expense, let alone transporting it!  

You will have your military connections, your travel experience, money for college, reliable paid off transportation, and the pride and benefits that come with serving your country.

Since you live in the south suburbs you probably have a better idea of which areas there are more desirable for renters but of course proximity to public transportation, restaurants, schools, etc can influence your ability to reduce vacancies.

Don't even use the word "investment" say opportunity, your participation, our partnership arrangement, anything but calling your deal an "investment".What you are doing is providing that person with an investment prospectus of an unregulated security, you are showing your intentions which may be construed as being relied upon for their investment.

Struggle, lack of jobs, no access to transportation, no amenities - these are all signs of struggle.
