@Richie Thomas - Athens and Meridianville/Hazel Green, in my opinion, are not similar at all.Athens has much more potential for growth and appreciation - as @Jeff Henderson said, the job growth near Athens is tremendous, and there is a lot of folks who work in Huntsville/Madison who commute from Athens due to the amount of house/land they can get there compared to the metro areas otherwise.  

Btw, commercial and investment real estate brokers are in a tremendous position to take advantage of the fact that many sellers want CASH.

I spent a tremendous amount of time and resources on those types of things in the beginning.

I worked with Fund & Grow and have gotten a tremendous start with my business, based on the $67,000 support Brandon Kroon provided. 

Filling this void has tremendous value.

I don’t see a rental investment strategy posed in the question here, but it is true that the ratio only has to be 1:1 More details would help tremendously 

Is there any escalation options we can pull?

With my physician background we are implementing numerous types of health tech and services to allow our residents to live longer, safer and healthier lives - which tremendously sets us apart from the other RAL homes in the community.

It's an older book, published in the 60's I believe but I read "how I turned $1000 into a million in real estate in my spare time" by Bill Nickerson years ago and got a tremendous amount out of it. 

I appreciate that tremendously.
