Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

Long term, short-term, etc?

This is usually rare, and the cost of these major repairs can be negotiated to be reimbursed at the sales closing when the option gets exercised.- The exit is defined according to the option period. - There are very low management costs since the property has long term tenants that take care of their own repairs.

I'm still new to real estate investing but I'm open to feedback  @Jade FrankIt really depends on your long-term goals.

You may want to research the term ' Debt Financed Distribution' Which does have a tax implication for the investors receiving a distribution.

I also allowed the fear of others to take me away from my long term goals.

If one tenant has been in there for that long, there will also be some serious capex and turnover costs.

Hey everyone, Nice to meet you all! I

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Hey all, I have a client that's looking to scale his portfolio and we're looking at Assumable Loans here in San Antonio.
