Personally, I'd stay in 30032 the demand has been very strong in the last few years.

I am about 3.5 hours from the property. my impression right now is that it needs to renovation (I am anticipating landlord style cleanup for a new tenant).  

I'm an agent as well but I tell everyone else they should interview a few of usand find one that fits your style before you pick one.  

An all cash offer continent on insepction is still a super strong offer. 

Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.  

@Mary lou L.It's nice seeing a real estate show that isn't all the crazy California prices, though I'm not a fan of the down home style that they put in every single home they remodel.

Can you tell me what style you prefer and why?  

I'm confident some of them would not object to a free phone conversation with you, especially if there is a strong likelihood that you'll ask them to do some legal work.

@Jeff Piscioniere Most of my clients use either Schlage or Kaba - the link below will take to a few different styles - they like them because the code can easily be changed remotely (severl live on the West Coast and their properties are here on Maui).AlohaKeyless entry

I dare to say that 95% of the people on here that are actually property investors and landlords are not brokers or even agents.As a recommendation, I would strongly advise to listen to the Bigger Pockets Podcasts.
