Hi @Amy GardnerUnfortunately, unless they have their CC&R's online, you'd probably have to call the HOA management company for a copy of the CC&R's or just simply ask them if they allow short term rentals. 

Find online research that discusses the merits of various markets specifically related to cashflow investing.

That makes me (as an investor) nervous.That said, you'll know far more about the individual bases and can probably assess the trajectory of what's going on in Columbus, MS. 

Once a huge economy like California comes online with MJ there will be no stopping it by the Feds.

Here are my questions.Can I amend the payment clause in the contract and require that tenants pay rent using an online service?

Most of the information that I find online says that a person needs a license to rent or lease properties unless they are the owner of the properties being rented, but I can't seem to find anything that specifies if I/we, as employee(s)/agent(s) of the LLC that owns the properties which I/we manage (including showing and negotiating rental/leasing agreements), am technically exempt or required to be licensed as a broker.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Last month I went online to pay my mortgage and discovered the bill changed to 3,200.

Bigger Pockets has everything you need from free online educational videos to connecting to other investors, you can't go wrong on this site!

Also, some quick online searching shows vacancy at much closer to 10% than 5% for that area.Overall, I don't really know much about the Fairburn market, but another quick search online shows that the city is growing, which is a plus.

It seems the only people that leave reviews are those that benefit in some way from the review or those that intend to cause damage to a company's reputation and have no other recourse than posting online.
