Stockton,CA had the most foreclosures in the US, after the housing crash.

Usually I use trieagle and request a month to month plan and have the power on a day or two after the tenant vacates.

Hey @Felicia Richardson - I can not speak directly to Atlanta, but we do a ton of Fannie May Homestyle renovation loans up here in Chicago. 

Unfortunately, you have no power over the tenant until you own the property.

We just bought a house in a highly desired older neighborhood.The owner agreed to owner finance it with 5k down over 5 years at 0% interest.We did put some money into the house to fix it up some.The rental income will cover the payments.Always ask for owner financing, the answer might surprise you.Work with money partners to do more deals.Join your local Real Estate Club and learn new techniques and grow your network.

You end up using the cash flow to keep it propped up.

Now I think I'd resell, because the deals keep coming.

When you have a minor leak beneath a bathroom, it's most likely from the drain pipes, which is why the water only leaks when someone uses the bathroom.

When I look for my next property, I work on cleaning up credit, so my scores are as good as I can get them.  

The forums are the best place to learn anything in real estate you can think of.
