I would highly recommend working with a broker that really understands the nuances of this style of loan as each lender has different credit requirements, leverages, and ownership requirements. 

The houses are typically brick, 3 bed and ranch style and although there is crime in 38118, it has a strong tenant base and these are some of my better performing houses.

Those strategies never go out of style. 

******************************Ok, here are my typical approaches to a complex assignment.1) determine the most important value characteristics within my subject market (location, school district, # of units, size, lot size, bedroom/bath count, remodeled, new build, specific style, other amenities, etc.)2) research available comparable sales (with those important characteristics found above) within the designated market area3) in the absence of recent good comparable sales, I will expand my search back in time, even 5 years (or more) if need be.

I just happened to talk to a Realtor talking about a strategy in southern Atlanta like towards the airport that involved developing on raw land with tiny home-style units for affordability.

It has been recently upfitted & modernized to become a unique getaway (AirBnB) filled both with character & luxurious amenities for guests to stay both in style & comfort.

I am definitely more attracted to the passive income route over a more active style investing.

Also it is very very common for sewer, water, storm etc to be connected in condo or townhome style projects.

added value by building out a full functional NY style deli/bodega on one side and updating already established laundromat on other side Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

But it will never be as Playa del Carmen because of the building restrictions so it won't be a viable alternative to the Playa del Carmen-style people like me either.Many people have been discovering Tulum recently but it's nothing new.
