I can barely get firms to look at columbus with 10x years of experience thats mostly for ground up. the average house cost is still less than 100k which means you have a lot of houses to tear down still to create a housing shortage. the economics don't make it favorable for any type of investing but turn key or maybe ground up in the urban core which works in any city. but compare any of these cities, I'll take Indianapolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, and columbus and Milwaukee and pass on the rest. 

I am actively investing throughout Atlanta, Georgia, and its metro cities, down to Macon, Georgia.

Are they expecting to stay or do they know they are heading towards an eviction?

However, I'm looking at creative ways to produce cash flow with little to no cash down.

Ultimately it probably comes down to your personality.

Give some consideration to the amount of money you want to invest for a down payment plus any closing & renovation expenses here too, although if you find a sweet deal you can find outside money to extend your reach.Next run the property through a quick analysis.

While doing this, save at least 10% of your paycheck to have as a down payment.

With a second home purchase you could put down less but you'll pay more points.

These type of loans typically look at your credit score, the down payment, and the potential rental income of the property.

Every property goes down the assembly line and everyone has to do their job perfectly or at the end of the line the wheels fall off and the car bursts into flames.
