Gilmer County, Georgia investors:We're trying to do a favor for a homeowner whose property we purchased recently in Metro Atlanta.They have a cabin in the mountains in Ellijay they're desperately trying to sell, and asked for our help.

Now, here is my take on what could be happening just from reading your post:If you are making any type of E-Mail/Written communication with these people, you should do yourself a favor and run everything through Microsoft Word and use spellcheck. 

Normal wear and tear when presented to a judge (at least in NC) usually goes in favor of a tenant, unless you have clear cut evidence otherwise.

Here at BP, lots favor the so called 50% rule.Brooklyn uses heating oil and gets snow, to be sure boiler maint and snow removal is included in your estimates.

I would stay away from singles and smaller multis in the IRA. 4) Your plan to house hack and rent your current residence are smart while interest rates are low, and the US market is very favorable to owner occupants.

@Shmuel Harris , Yeah looks like the mortgage Vs Monthly is pretty strong in favor of investors but im doing more research than anything at the moment.

That is the way the pros do it, and I can assure you, will favorably impress any lending institution.

Hi @Patrick Snoke,I tend to agree with you, I like option number 2.For my note investments, I prefer to utilize a Delaware LLC because of the state's favorable corporate and banking laws (there are also other states that offer similar advantages).

I'm not.discouraged because as  @BrandonTurner states it's a "funnel," the more deals I analyze and make offers, I put the odds in my favor!

An oral lease is almost always going to be interpretted by the courts to favor a tenant from my experience.
