However, the time I could spend in Atlanta before buying might help me avoid headaches by getting to know the market even better than my research.I currently do not have an investor-friendly agent there, but I do have a real-estate contact here in Boston who lived there for 20 years.I am interested to hear your thoughts and what you'd do, if you were in my shoes.

It could make sense to bring in an investment partner.Another option, since it sounds like it's a handful of smaller properties, is to get a group of people together and divide and conquer the units rather than having one master portfolio with LPs and GPs.Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss strategy; I'm happy to help.

The large margin of profits when developing single-family homes and duplexes is significantly more than fix and flips.

The property we were looking at went under contract (for more than we were willing to offer).  

They find and fix the deals and we sign the checks.The idea was amazing for people whose time is completely eaten up by our employers, looking for a way to create retirement with rental income.However, that is not at all what he did.In reality, he found the crappiest oldest homes ( more like death traps), that no other knowledgeable investor would touch, and upsold them to us for $20-50K more than they were worth, lied about the numbers, and charged us for repairs he never did.

Are you trying to gouge the unsuspecting tenant and get a higher price from them than you could get anywhere else?

Hi Casey,As the gentlemen's above mentioned, 20% out of $700K is indeed $140K, so the answers is yes.As a hard money lender, my 2 cents for you is that if you don't understand the loan structure in 100%, not 99% but 100%, don't go into it.BTW - As hard money lenders usually we charge less than 20%, but seems like this is a factor of maybe less experience you have.Anyhow good luck!
