Rock-on, Collin!!! 

I'm originally from Western PA as well (Slippery Rock) and now reside in Atlanta.Here is how I am looking at it along with the assumptions I am making:1) I think the growth prospects are better in the Atlanta market than Pittsburgh from a pure demographics standpoint.2) I estimate your return on equity at 7.2% currently3) Over the long haul appreciation is going to take you further when it comes to net worth than cashflow will4) Doubling of the roofs is doubling the expensesThings to consider:1) What is the year built of your Atlanta property vs. what you could replace it with in PGH?

Agree with @Sarah RoskoThe nature of most bookings are out of towners that book before they see the place or really know the neighborhood.

COMMUNITY- will the community support this type of housing (talk to other developers, visit projects of similar nature preferably in the same area and price bracket).3.

I have a 3/2.5 in Old Lake Highlands near White Rock Lake (~1 mile) that my family and I are living in as a primary residence, but I have been thinking about house hacking into another house and then doing a MTR on this 3/2.5.

Could do parking and cargo container storage.  4 acre lot needed 200 yards of rock in dirt road.  

Always something new and cool going on in our market! 

I mean, once we get off-market property and do some rehab, we can force appreciate it, but what about the later natural appreciation?

It's the nature of investing in real estate.
