I was curious if anyone was local to the area and could grab pictures of the inside of the property for me so I can try to contact contractors in the area to see what renovations would look like for a property like that.

Lately he has bought local restaurant businesses, primarily, but also apartment buildings, land, MHPs, and other commercial properties. 

Hi AllThank you in advance for your time + help.I am wondering what kind of arrangement you all have with your local person who stops by the residence in case of problems.

I had trouble with minimum balance fees at my local bank and it was driving me nuts.  

I'm not local to Atlanta but currently looking for GCs in the Atlanta area and saw this post.

The best thing to do is call a few local lenders in your area and explain what you are looking to do and ask what options are available for that scenario. 

There are online communities and local groups where you might find like-minded people facing similar challenges.Exploring additional income streams that align with your skills and interests could also be beneficial.

@Afoma Okwudiafor I have found runners through local FB groups and recommendations from other investors. 

The data aggregators get their data from local assessors so the risk is that the assessor is not updating their information timely. - MLS data - This is challenging to get now that the MLS has cracked down on offering it to non-MLS platforms.

I would recommend investing locally first.
