I remember reading either J Scott's blogs or one of his books and for the longest time he focused on a tiny suburb of Atlanta and just bought up everything in that one small area.

Always had the dream of being financially stable in my 40s/50s and have ventured out looking in stocks and whatnot, reading some books, etc.

If it is a current rental ask to see the books.

I have read a dozen books on the topic but I think it would be worth the time and effort see how someone does it in the real world.
