I was a week away from closing on a great place in Decatur city limits near downtown, but I couldn't get the HOA lady to communicate with us before we purchased, which was a bad sign and I walked.

I'm surprised anyone is giving advice to look on Zillow, but you limited it to rentals, so maybe there is a way to use that data. 

the smaller towns will have limited 4 plex inventory..  

I've implemented a direct mail campaign for the past 4-5 months (with limited success I feel - 1 deal and about a half-dozen "good" leads, with a bunch of tirekickers) and feel that I'm ready to tweak and/or scale. 

I am trying to get a general idea in order to limit risk and figure out where most success has been experienced.

I have the property listed and am collecting applications for a new tenant. 

For example, are we allowed set our own occupancy limits on the unit? 

So, once you tap it out, you will be limited to borrow more if you need extra cash.

YUP... some states deem multi bene as Securities that need to have a security offering ( Oregon ) other states like CA have a 10 person limit before you need a securities document.. other states I don't know how they each do it.. but you will find out shortly no doubt.. the attorney you retain should know this right off the top of their noggin.
