Tamisha I was deployed very quickly after finding that property.

Books that have helped me are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Long Distance Real Estate Investing by @David Greene, The ABCs of Real Estate investing and Crushing It by Brian Murray. 

It all started as a hobby of some sort for a little extra cash after reading Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Just a quick glance, they have carpet ranging from $4 to $6/sf...I'm sure most people here are paying half that at $2/sf or less.Remember, it's always best to just call local contractors if you want accurate pricing...

Quickly learned its completely 2 different areas and I want to be focused on investing, my goal is to get started in buy and hold rental properties to create passive income and financial freedom down the line.

@Rich Hupper thanks Rich, are there any companies you would recommend going through to get the license?

What do you think about having a quick chat over the phone sometime this week or next to get to know each other a bit more? 

Hot area of Atlanta so selling would be pretty quick at 300k  and leasing around 2-2.2k shouldnt be too big of problem even if slow down occurs...whenever that might be.   

You will want to decide what is most important: lower fees, quick processing time, proximity to you.

Plus, I keep all documents that have ever been signed by me or them uploaded using their file system so at any time, either party can access their lease terms or rules and regulations quickly without having to dig in a drawer to find them.I highly recommend for a first time landlord.
