A colleague once told me that knowledge is power. 

I will certainly be doing everything in my power to incentivize the tenants to stay, and pay on time.In the meantime, I've learned my lessons on market research-- when I bought those properties, I'd never heard of market research (I don't remember Rich Dad, Poor Dad saying anything about that, lol!).

I know of one non-traditional bank in Atlanta, they offer 50% financing at pretty reasonable rates, you need to show up at least once to their offices to sign some paperwork, they used to offer loans to investors who use power of attorneys, but no more.I am from California originally and moved to Israel over 4 years ago.
