@Emeka Okeke, the biggest thing is actually doing it.  

That is honestly my biggest concern. 

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. 

There's also on posted on the Events Forum under Space City REI - I'll try to tag you! 

That alone was the biggest improvement for my business practices and allowed me to take all of my bookkeeping in-house and eliminate the expense I was shelling out for a bookkeeper.

In the City of Austin, we saw a 6.5% increase to $575,000*Total sales increased 2.5% in the metro.

Even the stagnant growth cities still tend to appreciate at par with inflation and see rent growth, so I wouldn't count those out.

This is required for most landlords in the city, as part of the rental property registration program.
