I'm taking in as much info as possible as I hit the ground running.

they also run and partner up with a local realtor.I've spent a lot of time doing due diligence on them i'm sure i've paid more what a local investor would in rehabs + purchase price but i plan to work with a few vendors long term put up the capital and have relatively hassle free rental properties as i'm located offshore.i'm flying to atlanta personally in 2 weeks to meet some people on the ground i'm also going to meet a few rental managers as a backup in case the guys i'm dealing with pack up shop and go home.any recommendations on property managers?
