I read in Money Magazine that one of the biggest mistakes investors make it paying the typical fees to investment brokers, so I am looking to get out of that but don't want to lose my tail either.

Zips and cities are too broad a stroke and wildly varied in Atlanta.When do I want to buy it?

I am a Canadian investor and have a property in Kansas city.

Prior to having the trailer removed, I contacted the city police and my lawyer, the certified letter that I sent them stated that I would remove the trailer after 2 weeks of no action on their part. 

Rich, it was full but the city inspector had a small issue with the sewage and the the tenants had to leave within 60 days since the owner did not want to fix it. 

The biggest turnoff I experienced when interviewing brokers, was how many of them just expected you to hammer your own personal sphere, bugging them to refer you or sell/buy with you as a newbie.

:(Augusta is the 2nd largest city in Georgia and only 2 hours east of Atlanta.  

Are you looking in the city now?

I see tons of houses in Milwaukee that are left to rot in the inner city by out of state landlords who probably thought it was a good idea to buy a $25,000 house that rents for $800 and just hire a property manager to deal with everything.

You can either put the signs out on Friday anytime after 5pm and take them down Sunday night(that's when city offices are closed. most cities have ordinances prohibiting bandit signs.) or you can leave the signs up, but use a phone number that can't be traced to you like a Google voice or Burner number.Also, you can hook up with a Real Estate agent, have them search the MLS for properties that have sold in the last 3-6 months and were paid for with cash.
