Cardinal Insurance Group is a local family owned agency that can most definitely help with protecting your investment property.

Also my local church holds a weekly community dinner that draws about 100 people which is more than attend Sunday services.

@Rick BaggenstossIt's not going to go backwards private organizations and the city have invested millions and they have gained back 100 millions back on their investments and the Beltline is not completed yet I do the tour often (Beltline)Those area are little sketchy but because it has not been totally gentrified it's still in its process also in order far Atlanta to keep attracting talent to the city they must become transportation friendly millenials are not getting in car note debt like previous generations they want to work play and party in the city (Kipp) is great as far school goes I want to say it was #1 in the state of GA.

I believe I found the course you were talking about: Real Estate Financial Modeling Course (wallstreetprep.com)Seems to have a ton of great information and I like how the example template is nice and organized. 

Talk to local money folks, property sellers, and those who look after properties for tips.

@Annwar ZahriehIf you are looking at investing locally (even if it's 1.5 hrs away) try and carve out some time to go to meet-ups and meet other local investors in the Philly area and network with them and vendors. 

.- Network with Local Professionals: Connecting with agents, lenders, wholesalers, and fellow investors in Alabama is a crucial step in finding your first deal.

Maybe I am missing something but once I signed up and paid the money I haven’t heard from anyone from this organization since.  

Go to local Real Estate meetups and learn from people there

I’m pretty sure their business is organized to make them judgement proof in case of a lawsuit. .
