It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

Owners come primarily in two flavors...the Micromanagers, that know more than you; and those that prefer being oblivious and not bothered with anything but the most significant incidents.What I have focused on is developing solid systems and processes in all operations with the goal of prevention, rather than constant corrections.

When structured favorably, seller carried transactions can offer lower down payments, below market rates and terms and improved cash flow and cash on cash return.

Norris Lake is proving to be a great market.

It's a European company coming to the US market.

Atlanta is becoming an expensive market, and I don't see that slowing down or reversing soon.

A neighboring property, similar to my current rental property, is now on the market at the same price I paid two years ago, with comparable rent.

I'd love to try this tool, we analyze every lot in our market under 25k in Columbus Ohio and this would be very useful. we need frontage, depth, acreage, price per acre, I can send you my current template and maybe you could modify it what do you think? 

It puts this property considerably above the top of the market, would that really make sense for a rental property? 

I'd start with local banks/CU's that are close to the property you're looking at especially if you're local to the market also.
