We were interested in the Mount Zion Blvd deal in Ellenwood, GA, due to several key factors: Profit Potential: The property offered a clear profit margin, with a purchase price of $165,000 and a sale price of $234,900.

For the course I'm looking into, they not only present some educational materials, but AFAIK also offer their resources in each market (i.e. lenders, PMs, inspectors, etc..).

Someone recently told me about an offer from Ally that was around 2.4%.

Then, after one or two trips into town you can use your agent to make offers on your behalf. 

Network with friends, family, and colleagues and offer incentives like reduced rent or utilities to attract more applicants.

Home Depot's offerings seem tempting since I can view the price online, which has been an issue with hot tub specific stores in the Smokies.Context:  I'm looking to add a 4-5 person hot tub to my STR near Pigeon Forge.

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Know you skills and what you can offer them. 

I made offers attempting to BRRRR and a couple of attempted flips in Indianapolis. 

I'm remodeling in phases, so two tenants got 30 days, two (including tenant referenced above) got 90 days, and 1 got a re-lease offer.
