Most people spend 5 minutes locking the deal up, and another 20 minutes talking, ultimately losing the deal.  

I have a few questions surrounding rehab process for first time investors that I am sure will be helpful for a lot of individuals across the site!

I really want to pull the trigger on something but at the same time don't want to FOMO in and end up losing money.

I currently rent in San Diego and I pay my rent to a property management group, however, I am assigned a property manager (not on-site) that I can contact if I have questions.

You can contact them, but they’re not going to sell it to you....at some point they will put it on the mls or one of the REO auction sites.  

The first guy left without issue after the tenants realized they were going to lose their apartment; the second is tbd.When I get unauthorized tenants, I write a very short and simple letter stating that everyone has to be on the lease and pass a background check.

Many new investors forget this and lose their earnest money, if any is tendered per the contract. 

I don't want to do anything that will get me sued or lose my license.

Are there any active investors in the North Georgia area currently on this site?

If that happens, then you make your 20%, but if not, then you lose 20%.
