If a landlord's funds are so tight that a 5 day wait causes serious problems then they are dangerously undercapitalized anyhow. 

@Nicholas Dill I agree you aren't going to get much directly from the forum - because your question is very market-specific and this forum is small and covers a lot of territory.  

When you speak with the sheriff, it's important to find out how many movers he requires, how full the house is with stuff, could the tenant become dangerous, are there kids on the premises, are there pets on the premises, etc.

If you're raising money from a passive investor whose return is generated solely by their investment, and they do not have an active part in the deal, then you're in syndication territory. 

Especially in the Atlanta Housing Authority territory.

Never invest in any city on Neighborhood Scouts' list of the 100 most dangerous US cities. https://www.neighborhoodscout....Low operating costs - High operating costs can turn what appears to be a profitable property into a money pit.

They don't know anything about Real Estate Investing @Paulette HewittI don’t have any zip codes for you, but some friendly words of advice: C neighborhoods are fine, but you would be doing yourself a serious misstep to go below that.Think of “D” (and below)  as standing for Drugs and Dangerous, and Dilapidated.  

New Orleans is one of, if not the most dangerous cities in the entire US.

This is a Large breed that is considered dangerous and I am told is very intimidating.
