Many properties in Macon lack central heat and air which I feel is a "must-have" amenity in GA.

Waco is a great rental market because there are so many blue collar jobs that provide consistent demand for housing (I have heard that 80% of homes in Waco-proper are non owner occupied) but there is a lack of white collar jobs that would keep Baylor graduates here or bring working professionals from Austin/Dallas. 

We've heard not to go with the inspection agency your realtor recommends, but I tend to lean towards not buying into that. 

These agencies often cover vacant or under-renovation properties.

Did you find a good credit screening agency?

Very much lacks curb appeal.Sqft is not listed.

I've read through everything everyone has said, as well as carefully reading through the sales agreement and the final closing papers (that I did not sign but requested from the title agency)...

Some TMPs told me they were tired of paying online travel agency fees and were happy to find Furnished Finder. 

Can anyone recommend an agency?

Thanks for your reply, but also my apologies for the lack of clarity.
