We are first-time home buyers (and aspiring real estate investors) relocating to Cobb County, Georgia in late September (Marietta/Smyrna area). We plan to buy a property to begin our investing career, but we also need...

I have heard good and bad from some friends in that area that a lot of houses are on the market up there.

Nick is a personal friend of mine I have known him and done business with him since 2002... 

Friends have suggested that we meet with a real estate attorney in order to ensure that we have everything lined up legally prior to beginning the endeavor.Our real estate agent gave us the name of a seasoned real estate attorney in South County and we are meeting with him next week.

But before that I’d like to find a good investor friendly agent in Memphis, some boots on the ground and also meet some rehab investors in the area.I'm planning visit Memphis next month to meet and know better this incredible market!

But how do you know that this is really the prior landlord and not just their best friend doing them a favor?
