I even posted a video of me driving there from the City.If you ever become a landlord, know that you can not let weather be your excuse to not fix something like a furnace that is out.Just a little nugget o'knowledge.

. - Your strategy to minimize to minimize interest and tax expenses since these are the largest expenses most people will pay and sometimes its not the rate of growth/return you need to be concerned about but rather just a reduction in interest and taxes alone could have significant impact the growth of your equity and assets over time

@Engelo Rumora I don't know your current situation as far as budget goes, but In my shoestring, we just use google drive.

I've found normal drive time is 2-3X at rush hour.

Not bad.There are 2 things I will do in addition to the numbers.1) drive by the property at night...will your wife or mother feel comfortable walking there at night?

None of the rules are dealbreakers by any means, and the areas aren't horribly bad, but curious your drive for that county specifically.I have a property there myself, and others around other counties in Atlanta.

This site has been so helpful in helping me to learn more and to help give me the drive.

While your imediate area may be tought to cash flow, I bet within an hours drive there are neighbrhoods that will make great rentals.

I live in Southern California so something no more than a two to three plane ride or a five hour drive.

You then need to weigh that up with the variables that only locals would know: location, potential tenants for the area, potential job growth/contraction etc.AndrewP.S There are hundreds of threads showing the 2 quick guidelines for analysis.
