In terms of determining if a property is a decent deal, you might want to look at the potential for rent increases in those areas and compare that to your mortgage payments and expenses.

I put the potential profit from the construction side into the deal.

I've posted extensively about coastal Oregon vacation rentals and their challenges and production potential, typically a strong STR will generate roughly 10% of valuation in gross annual income. 

I am reaching out to inquire about any tools you have all been using that have helped you find potential deals/leads.

How can one tap into this niche so that property owners in and around Atlanta can get leads from potential mid-term tenants (such as casts, filming crew, etc).

(Not in SF, in Netherlands however no possibility to add outside of states.)Looking for like-minded investors or even better a potential mentor.

It could potentially have some big cash flow consequences if you purchase a home that was built before 1978.. here is the state guide: https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/resources/pdfs/lead_b...

But still, I’d hate to purchase it, rehab it and potentially lose it due to the “Right of redemption” or some other law.

Googling the address of a potential purchase in quotes can get you great information sometimes.

I like the Franklinton area, mostly because I see the potential and feel that rents and home values are only going to increase.
