If you're interested you'll do what's convenient, if you're committed you'll do whatever it takes - John AsarafMost folks are interested in real estate but very few commit once they realize there is actual work involved.   

John these are repairs to operate.

@John Apple is it tough to get in-touch with your broker?

I started with  Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek and since moved on to Kennesaw, East Cobb, Decatur, Marietta, Woodstock or any other cities "close" to Atlanta where I wanted to invest, still the math did not work. 

@John Teachout how do you calculate your cash flow once you have a potential property?

I know it's going to effect a lot more people financially than it will physically.If you can't control something, then just decide to ride it out and SURVIVE it (financially and physically).And along those same lines I think I will change my focus off of this PITA uncontrollable thing and watch a good (guy) movie (The Longest Day, staring John Wayne and others): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Absolutely John!

@Daniel DenningSame as John for myself.
