The time expended on learning how to use such information, make relevant determinations, setting up a overly sophisticated system, the expense of buying it as well as maintaining it isn't worth the benefit compared to just inspecting a property.Yes, I'm over 50 years old.

., investors) tend to be more sophisticated in Atlanta than in other places, so marketing to landlords tends to be less fruitful (in my limited experience) than other forms of marketing in that area.My recommendation is to focus your marketing on homeowners with equity, whether distressed or not, and try to find locations where prices are trending up faster than homeowners recognize (so you can take advantage of some quick appreciation during a short hold period).
