I really like the south ATL market but you need to know the market on a more granular level as some places haven't seen the same growth.

You can't even get it from owning a business, trust me I own a business and am not financially free.

I came to know and trusted Morris Invest (MI) a Podcast for real estate investors promoted by Clayton and Natalie Morris, which they received referral fees from Oceanpointe (OP) Property Management aka Oceanpointe Investment, LLC  and promoting their business to investors.

In my view, this is a full time job to achieve a significant level of success.

@Steve VanKastCan you see if there is a deed of trust on the property and the original amount of the deed of trust? 

The kind of cash needed to get my down to that level is significant and could be used for OOS investments.

Not sure if that's standard or due to my type of account with them (Private Client...I have 3 IRA's, a solo-401k, and Rollover 401k so total with them bumps me up into their Private Client level banking).Their interest is non-existent (I use Ally.com for holding money @ 1.65%) but I've never had a problem with them. 

I haven’t found any areas that hit all of these marks yet but hopefully one of you can point me in the right direction.Growing areasmedian income above 35000 +Poverty level below national average.

The best solution I have found is creating a trust with an LLC as the beneficiary.  

First, you can hire someone who has vastly more experience than you have, and at a level you can never expect to accumulate.
