Cost to wait is maybe save couple grand on zoning attorney but could potentially make that up by earning some rent earlier (vs. unused space). 

After several back and fourths, I was finally able to arrange a meeting at the property.

Everyone was just rolling with the punches there for a couple years. 

I have two banks that have done so as well as a credit card, and know of a couple of organizations that have as well.

When my business partner and I were still flipping we bought a couple through Auction.com and we always used a private money lender to fund those and our other flips. 

Joe’s (19151), Powelton Village (19104), Squirrel Hill (19104)East Falls (19129)Francisville (19130)B+: Ton of flips, new construction SF being sold, still a couple teardowns on the block, trendy bars and coffee shops starting to open.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

Happy to DM you a couple of platforms I have come across that may be complimentary to but would not replace the underwriting work.

Note Atlanta has many events happening in the next couple of years.

Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22.
