Losing a parent is a difficult thing to deal with to say the least... let alone losing both in back to back months.

@David Des  Excuse the crude name of site but check out:  https://heyjackass.com/2018-deadliest-hoods/ for a map of recent crime/shootings in Chicago.  

I'm fairly new on the site as well, and also in the Atlanta market.

I would look up the city's development site and see where new development or public dollars are going.Once you get that info, find about 10 neighborhoods, go out and drive them and reduce the number down to about 2-4.

I've been hesitant to raise the rent because I'm pretty sure I'll lose my tenant, and dealing with a vacancy and turnover from afar will be a real pain.I am pretty confident I can get $1800/mo.

If the intent is conveyed to the landlord, the personal property shall be retained by the landlord at a site of the landlord's choosing for thirty days.

I know you are more of a big multi guy, so I’d look at shively (portions of which are in the opportunity zone) okolona (there’s a great target for you if you don’t already have it in your sites text me) , Brooks maybe as well.

(he said he will also ask for attorney fees, but if the buyer gets an attorney, I may lose and have to pay their fees also) It should not be so hard to get you home back.

The other day my partner and I had come across a home on an online auction site.

i.e. you might save 50k by doing it yourself, but it might cost you 2500 or 4500/month in lost Short Term Rents, so you'll 'lose' a lot by not finishing fast.Just some things to think about.
