There are other single family rental interests in the area that could potentially bare that burden as well.

I am sure there are a number of questions I am not even addressing so happy to provide amplifying data if I am missing something, but I figured this was a good spot.

Hey All,If anyone is need of a Real Estate Agent in the Mobile Alabama Area I have a great recommendation.

Ideally, if there's an investor in the Augusta, GA area I'd LOVE to shadow you or even do some rehab labor for you on weekends so I can get my hands dirty and see how the wheels really turn.Aside from that, if anyone has any general tips for making connections with local real estate investors or things I should be reading about, I'd love to learn from you!

Maybe also ask the seller if there was any damage and if they are planning to file a claim.Did the area get hit hard by storms?

If privacy is an issue, find a low-maintenance privacy fence, and even those are a pain because somehow tenants constantly break the latches and hinges on the gates.

There are a lot of friendly investors in the area that can help. 

I started looking outside of NY city, and i've been finding a couple of deals in Rochester NY, and other areas.

most houses in the area sell for $1M.

Very few agents unless they are one of the National Self Storage firms will understand Self Storage, although it is very similar to large MFH.
