Quote from @Andrew Hill: Welcome Craig!

Another concern i have is the backyard has a BIG hill which is pretty dangerous to mow and could be a liability, however i could always include lawn care as part of the rent to avoid safety issues.

Agent - John Courson (First Commercial Real Estate - Valdosta)Lender - Travis Hill (Southwest Georgia Bank - Valdosta)Property Manager - Leanna Pledger (Wiregrass Properties - Valdosta)Insurance Agent - Wesley Tyus (Tyus Insurance Group - Hamilton)Attorney - Jennifer Walker (DoverMiller - Valdosta)

Or you could also find people who does those and invest with them as a silent partner. 

Again some of it is very nice and is a marginally lesser extension of Fed Hill. 

You probably don't really need a mentor, for a few apartments, it's not rocket science, I'm feeling it's reluctance and looking on the other side of the hill at what you believe might be greener pastures, they may not be as green as you think.I got bored easily too, I'd find some niche, get that down, get bored and move on to a different aspect, just because it was more fun.

Tell your broker to split the coverage for example wind with Citizens and hazard/liability with someone like Tower Hill. 

I want to do it with others too, whether with private investors, silent partners, or equity partners. 

I'm just over the hill in Reno, NV but visit Sac often.

Just make sure you're nowhere near Memphis.Columbia, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill are good choices.
