Quote from @Preston Dean: @Bonnie CerrutiHere is a website and ranking system that I have come up with over time.https://www.areavibes.com/Here is my rating & classification for each livability score. 80(livability score) and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below FI checked two neighborhoods with areavibes and it is not at all accurate.

You won’t get clear title for at least two years but I don’t care because I’m a buy and hold person.

I figure I can always go back and run more background checks on people further down the line in the process if something doesn’t work out with the first applicant or two.

I have done about 2k move in and outs, and have about 300 sec 8 and other govt programs, so I know a thing or two :) I just got 800 for a 1 br,950 for a two br. 1275 for a 3 br, but owner pays water so its like 1100.  

Lastly, prior landlord references is key, you want to chat with the last two or three landlords, not just the last one since they are incentivized to get rid of bad tenants. 

I may want to lease my primary 1 bedroom townhouse in Chastain Park starting in the next month or two while I am away for work.

When a demand letter from a firm goes out, it changes the game from checkers to chess. 

in your scenario, two people each come up with 50k to buy and flip a house that, in the end will be worth 500k.

Two weeks exists only in your head. 

The next deal will be my fourth in the last two years.
