After lots of researching we finally narrowed down our OOS investing options to Atlanta and Memphis.

This will really help me to narrow down my deal-hunting.Thanks a lot!

I have been looking at cities with a growing population, multiple industries and low unemployment.I would appreciate any guidance you may have to help me narrow down my state and city search.

I have narrowed my searches to lots no smaller than roughly 7500-8000sqf just to comfortably be able to build additional units.

You can narrow your search to within a tight radius of your zip code and find someone renting out a similar situation.  

But it is preferred to expand the radius instead of going back in time since markets can change a lot in 1 year.The location value is captured by trying to find comparables as close to the subject property as possible like same side of town or same neighborhood.Sometimes you do run into issues with homes that have a narrow number of comparables.

I narrowed it down to 2 mortgages options and I am having a hard time making a decision: Here are my options: 15 years fixed rate at 4.625% payments = $954.6/ month30 year ARM fixed for 7 years is 4.75% + 1 point payments = $645/ monthI already have renters for $1700 a month. 

So here is what I did to best narrow it down.

The houses are identical, have one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, back porch, and a long narrow backyard.
