If you attempt to narrow your tenant base to these types, you will limit your market and reduce the marketability of your rentals, everyone would like the cream of the crops of tenants, but your properties will have a lot to do with that.As to teaching your tenants, I agree that you need rules and at times carry a big stick, but pick you battles carefully.

We are about 2500 years out of the last ice age.

Love the little downtown area...especially the drug store/ice cream shop, if it's still there. :)If you are interested in land investing, check out BP podcast 39 with @Seth Williams.

Overhead powerlines are WAYYYY higher maintenance, and you see that during things like ice storm, wind storms, and downed tree branches.Little things like those can help you target properties that are just a year or two over the line into the lower-maintenance category.

I also had one year in the late 1990s where I was stuck an extra day because of ice and I had gone down in a Range Rover.

Maybe we will jive as well as we do on the ice in the RE world.

People travel there from Buckhead, Atlanta, Canton locally but there is also a lot of draw for events like the Ellijay Apple Festival, Jeep Fest, many local wineries, the views, weddings, etc.You do have to be careful about some properties road access when there is ice as the driveways and roads can be steep.

(We also have one in Florida, and if you can also cover that one, it's icing on the cake :) )Thanks in advance!

I was pretty worried about the ice/cold storm 3 years ago, but it seems to have held up very well.
