I'll be looking to buy a small multi in the downtown area next year so hopefully there will be more real change by then :)

Take a relatively small risk, map out some exit strategies, and whether it fails spectacularly or succeeds tremendously I think it will be the best decision you ever made.

Hoping to start here (where she know the market and near a military base with a good market for rentals) and near Atlanta (where my family lives and can help manage while small).

Curious if anyone on here has had success with doing small condos used for Corporate housing?

I am going to be closing on a small buy and hold rental.

We agreed to a small finders fee after closing.

The other is pretty well small town.

My advice is to not settle for breaking even or even a small profit. 

Too small.  

That's why you see all major corporations/franchises sell the real estate to an investor and then NNN lease it back.Many small businesses don't necessarily get that though.So starting off with that, the seller's accountant confirmed it would be a good move for them.
