Hello,My wife and I currently have one SFR in Augusta and are under contract on a duplex in Augusta, GA.

Getting a little bit further away from base - nothing the turnpike can't help with, is Augusta.

Every time the masses are positive about something, whether it is precious metals, oil, real estate, stocks, even baseball cards, it usually signals a top.

You'll be wasting precious time if you send them 2 or 3 letters and then drop them.

With that being said, I never strayed from the idea of investing in real estate, as this has always been a dream of mine and my wife’s, but time is precious and a contractor will be utilized.

That's my second biggest pet peeve, which is spending precious time nurturing someone on a deal and for them to come back and say its not for them.

That's a very precious piece of collateral and it could go away in a flash if your not very prudent.
