Are there any "middle men" requirements to signing a lease in the state of Ga? 

Upper irvington is much better than lower irvington (the section east of Garden state parkway North and borders Newark).

I spoke to a local agent (who was awesome) over the weekend and she told me if I'm looking to invest in a Multi-Family home in the LA area, I'm looking at $600,000. If I had close to 30% of that to put down I wouldn't...

Specifically focusing on Rehoboth, Attleboro, Seekonk, Swansea and East Bay RI areas.Thanks,John

But looking back, I was with some random guy who was 100 pounds heavier than me, alone in a house, down a dirt road in the middle of the woods.

Your property is in east glenn park which isn't the nicest of areas.

Gentrification:  the buying and renovation of houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by upper- or middle-income families or individuals, thus improving property values but often displacing low-income families and small businesses.A large percentage of the city of New Orleans LA is currently undergoing the above process.

I took the deal for the extra monthly cash flow… plus it can be harder to rent out places in the middle of winter in Michigan.  

Better yet, if you ever want to come check them out they are on the east side close in.

I had a client who almost lost her life changing a smoke detector battery, it was going off in the middle of the night and was on an 18' tall ceiling (why it had to be there I know not), she got an extension ladder out to change it, unfortunately the bamboo flooring allowed the ladder to slip and she slammed face down on the floor, a most awful accident...teeth, jaw...etc....it was really bad.
