Hi @James Brand - I'm located in Philly and I always install ceiling fans in my rentals no matter the level of tenant/neighborhood.

That was painful.When a potential borrower, agent, or broker now approaches us, we can have a short top-level conversation about what we do and our terms, but we always follow this up with our not-so-short email that we know responds to 99.9% of their other questions+.

And yes, I want to refinance the investment property.Thanks I don't know what your rates are out in California, but here in TN upper 4's is the best you are going to do on an investment mortgage. 

So while my end-goal is be in a different (and hopefully more profitable) market, my experience level dictates that the smart move for me would be to start locally.As @Patrick Liska said, if it's a good deal, GO FOR IT.

Hello everyone,  my name is frederick,  I'm entry level at real Estate investing,I am from and reside in atlanta Georgia.

The landlord tenant act is important in determining what you have to do as landlord....more strict and higher levels of service required for true commercial vs quadplex or less.  

I have a buyer lined up with cash in hand ready to take the green house away, and I will install a new lawn on the freshly leveled ground. 

Don't forget that at least at the local commercial level most of these guys and banks know each other so if you get a good relationship (demonstrated by multiple notes with one guy) they see it and it is a confidence level for the second guy as well.I guess my long winded bottom line is develop a relationship somewhere for the first few then expand out. 

Already at the entry level I feel a burning desire to succeed in real estate and a passion I've never felt before.  

From what you have listed I feel that I help homeowners is more personal and could appeal to a seller on a more personal level, however the I buy houses approach is more to the point of what you are trying to do.
