Bonus: by doing this you can also deduce which company is (probably) relying heavily on lapse-supported pricing and where the company's underwriting "sweet spot" is.I think even insurance salesmen would be surprised by the results.But, they shouldn't because it makes sense if you think about it.

People falsifying information seems to be the sweet talker mind set, from what I read from you guys.Thanks y'all.

@Jay Hinrichs i see that humblebrag...and i envy your sweet gardening time!

Everything there put my mind, body and spirit back into the 60/70's, it was great, especially after downing some wine and walking up telegraph ... it was a much better time then! 

Of the list you provided, the sweet spots are Norcross, Lilburn and Decatur for small multifamily units. 

This was in the sweet spot that I want to buy in.

If you would rather be more active, I recommend you start with a medium multifamily (8 units is the sweet spot) that is near your home.

So I can take my own sweet time to rent it the way I like it and at my price.

Done tom turkey.Then add that proverbial gift of a bottle of wine at check in, you might be in prison for a good long while...You would never get out of that no matter what kind of insurance you had and clauses you had in your contract.There are lawyers out there that LIVE for this type of situation and it would destroy the owner.We have a lake house and I don't even offer kayaks.
