Great to see you blazing the trails for the rest of us!

Even if he pays some rent and I pay him the money back for maintenance, at least there's a paper trail.

You typically need 90%+ occupancy for at least three months trailing.

At worst case scenario there will now be a paper trail behind this individual so anyone else that does their own research would realize this job ended poorly.No contract, then you're S.O.L

First off, I would request a rent roll and Trailing 12 from the seller.

Atlanta home prices, even though they trailed many other markets' home prices reached 1997 levels in 2012.

I keep a separate bank account and keep a good audit trail.

Wondering if you offer a free 30 day trail to check out the Pro version of Bigger Pockets before I spend any money to see if I like it.Thanks Steve

Anyone from my area that is having success doing what I'm describing, it would be an honor to learn from youMany thanks to Bigger Pockets to providing a resource and a vehicle through which we can communicate and to the experienced investors who have paved the trails. 

I would say the closer you are to the 606 trail, it will appeal to more buyers and renters.
