I will be making another purchase by June of next year, so there is plenty of time to find my perfect market. 

I already have a primary residence and another quadriplex, so this would be my second rental property.

I am fine living in it for the first year or two and have a current roommate that will rent from me for as long as we live there, so I am not too worried about negative cash flow in the first year.

Is there anyone in GA who has tried double closing this way and if so, is there a title company or closing attorney you can recommend ?

I have a friend who works for a well-renowned construction company in our town who has offered to be our general contractor at a discount (only charging us 8% vs. the standard 15%) and "teach me the ropes"/make the right introductions so that I can repeat this on my own in the future. 

so you get a couple points to originate the loan and then maybe a small amount of interest. 

Also, ensure whoever you utilize does not have a pre payment penalty or its low so you have the ability to refinance after a year of stabalizing the property.

So now, to my question... has anyone successfully developed a Property Management company to help them transition into the REI world? 

A balanced market is typically around 6 months of inventory, so a lower number represents a seller's market with limited inventory.Here Comes I-11: Workers are preparing for a major road project to update panels on 1,075 signs between the Henderson Spaghetti Bowl and the Kyle Canyon Road interchange.

I would also say that markets like Manhattan are not super representative of most markets in the US - a lot of foreign investment I'd imagine in NYC, Miami etc - I'd guess a lot of these cash purchases are more about exchanging unstable or risky foreign assets/currencies for perceived stability/safety of US top metro residential real estateI think in a lot of other markets where this isn't relevant - I think most are cash offers being "king" as not having appraisal or other contingencies that might sabotage the sale after 30 days or so and make people re-list (sellers will take less to avoid this risk and downside)
