Commute to Atlanta: While Griffin is just a 45-minute drive from downtown Atlanta, it may not be ideal for those who need to be in the city office every day.

Try to stick to under an hours drive per team. 

And it would drive up prices.

This does not pass the sniff test for me.

With real estate investing this again becomes hard because every time you take out a new mortgage it drives your average down because it's a new account. 

We always send a contractor through to test everything and if broken, give estimates to repair and we can determine then if it is tenant damage and what charges to the security deposit should be.

Been thinking about trying to work in the Olympia area since it’s only about an hour drive

Our battery went out and our son had to crawl through a basement window but I doubt too many people could have done that, he was impressed by our increased security but didn't want to drive 2 hours back home so he found a way.  

You need to do renovations, improve the property, and drive up rents.

after reading all of these comments, I don't want to waste my time ( considering I have to drive 1.5 hours each way to the workshop).
