We haven't had big parties or anything like that or destructive guests (knock on wood).

My wife and I are physicians that like in CT and work in NY.

I'm looking to break into the real estate market in an attempt to achieve financial freedom, like everyone else.

Seems like you already have your target investment property type locked in which is great. 

Would anyone have any recs on location banks, credit unions, etc that would look at a deal like this?

Like @Alex Olson is saying you may start looking for potential replacements you like at any time before your 45 day identification time frame starts. 

I like the fact that Atlanta area's property tax rate is low and seems there is growth potential. 

I'd probably not operate the property as an LTR because with such little down (5%) at today's rates, it would be negatively cash flowing.For the investors who invest in Littleton and have a furnished rental, can you speak on what the MTR and STR demand is like?

{This is a general question on preferred equity investing not Wellings specifically, they seem like well run/professional/experienced group.} 

Owners might like it better.
