Being out of state, my knowledge of Atlanta is quite limited, and I'm hoping to get a better sense of the neighborhoods.Are there any good neighborhood guides to Atlanta or other resources that show crime rate, population growth, home values, etc of various cities and towns nearby?

Hi Dan, I don't have any particular resources on Section 8 rentals but there is a lot of information on the KCHA website.

When my resources ran out for this, I established a solo401K via Dmitryi's Sense Financial  and poured my IRAs into it.

If you want to pursue Wholesaling there are lots of resources here to help you learn. 

There are so many resources on here, but I would recommend the following to start:Attend local REIA meetings and connect with like-minded investors: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetRead the Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingListen to the BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/

mid-sized apartment building, you should be working with an experienced broker and/or attorney who should be able to advise you on what materials and {diligence} conditions should be identified in your APS.Building on what has been stated above, be sure to include the collection of estoppels from all tenants (and suppliers) and to have the clock on your diligence period start only once the Vendor has supplied the information requested of them (in the APS).Other items which we typically request as materials include: all leases and contracts; blueprints, engineering diagrams and assessments; existing environmental assessments; authorisation to pull the permit and work order / citation history on the property; finances for the past 3 years; current rent-roll along with economic vacancy (physical vacancy, concessions, evictions); list of recent CAPEx; statement of reserves (note: this should be included in the financials, but you never know).

Why not collect that good interest for a longer time frame ?
