While I don’t typically work with real estate agents to find deals, I do collaborate with other professionals throughout the process.

Sorry for the long winded back story, but end game is to put a A frame on the existing 20x40' stem wall above near where I"m standing, and put some stairs into a drop down area below for chairs/fire-pit overlooking the river canyon below (but out of view) under where the drone is flying.

What they’re missing is that they first need to ask “Is my business / investment process scalable?  

I think if you can nail that down you will be able to find a market easier.As a buy and hold investor some of the things that were important to me when deciding on a market were landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio, housing demand, ability to build a team, large population 500K plus, multi-family availability and some other factors.take the process step by step and you will be fine. 

My wife (who's from CR) and I are early in the process. 

When managing multiple applications, it’s crucial to ensure your process is both fair and compliant with local, state, and federal housing laws, including the Fair Housing Act.A best practice to avoid any perception of bias or confusion is to process and work on one application at a time.

@Divya Sarin Are you still in the property search process? 

It's tough to work with corporate seller's.However, there is a TON of investable inventory in the Atlanta market right now that is institutionally owned where there process is very ridged.

Pretty sure yo're thinking you'll design a snazzy program/process that once you figure out how to do it in one market, you'll be able to easily do it in any/all markets.What do YOU know that Zillow, Redfin, etc., couldn't figure out despite having millions to invest in their tech teams?

We learned a lot through the process.
