Investors will need to have confidence that you will perform and get them their desired return on their money.

Also I feel that I have much more confidence and firm negotiating stance going against a bank compared sweet ol betty going to the nursing home. 

While our no smoking rules have never been challenged, I'm quite confident the would be upheld.Now ... in Québec, things would be a little different as there is still considerable public tolerance of smoking.

The reason I am trying to focus on this area is two fold: - Rather deal with higher rents and potentially less maintanece calls - It is were I live and would rather not travel so much in the brutal Atlanta trafficAm I setting myself up for failure?

Not saying it does not happen but it is not proper conduct on your part or the bankers part.I have travelled many times with my Banker of the last 24 years and other than as I state swapping who buys lunch we always each pay our own way...

Over 60,000 people travel down the 14 each day to go to work, so the majority of people living in the AV are not associated with the aerospace industry. 

if you're living in the property and doing the repairs yourself it can make things easier since you spend less time traveling and moving equipment. 

My family and I have been traveling around the country (wife is a traveling nurse) and saving money to buy more property.

Those points can be redeemed for travel, cruises, hotels, gift card, etc.

Eliminating some of the stress is def worth it while i gain confidence and learn the ropes.
