It seems you are not local to ATL, @Sanjeev Advani but I just saw the former CVS drugstore at the corner of Alpharetta Hwy9 in Alpharetta turned into a showroom for high-end golf carts.

Columbus Ohio if you are looking at new construction 

At the very least I’d get an experienced agent’s opinion on pricing because most FSBO’s are priced unrealistically high in my experience.  

I have one property under contract that will work well and I'm looking at another or potentially turning one of my regular rentals into an Oxford house in spring or summer 2020.

Gottfried:Hopefully you and your wife are still into real estate.You or anyone else can join us on Oct. 2 (6pm) at the Tailgate Brewery on Market Street in Chattanooga for this real estate meeting.

A mentor of mine with 400 units told me I can use a large seller credit to cover most of the down payment on a property I'm looking at.

We have full-time boots on the ground in each market, and have a team centralized at our HQ in Texas as well.If you're interested in speaking with some of our current clients, I'm happy to make an introduction.We've historically worked with Aleka in several capacities (as a client of her's while she was with Acorn and Oak and then as our BIC) and our experience with her was always great.Thanks!

We make loan at a total cost to borrower of about double what “A or B” risk borrowers would pay for  bank financingLoans are 1st liens, short term (12 - 24 months) at no higher than 65% loan to value.Hope this adds clarity 

Bummer. he can sell it no problem just cant get title insurance.. so unless your buying it to flip who cares just buy it and enjoy it.. and during that process just sue for quiet title.. take some money and time but that would clear up the title. there is a very prominent BP member that buys tax sale and other title issue props in SC he gets them so cheap because you cant get title insurance at least at the time he buys them and then just rents them out.. its a winner.. no one will ever come back on him or you ..
