Thanks Yes, that response is definitely going to help you do well and learn.

Definitely hire a realtor that is an investor as well, they will be able to guide you through the process!

The model worked well for about 6 months and so on but went south after the strike and there were lot of cancellations and schedule changes so he eventually decided to terminate his lease.

Feel free to message me as well.

Wells Fargo advised everyone of the upcoming foreclosure.

A lot of investors have been drawn to the Midwestern markets due to the low cost of entry and a lot of the markets being landlord friendly as well.

Self manage - Its the no one can do as well as I can - mentality.Seems like even the "good" managers have self lives.

Once I do the deed transfer the payment will be made to the LLC bank, but I am unsure if the mortgage will be owned by the LLC as well per my lender as they stated very clear that I still own the mortgage and any refinance etc require the transfer back of the deed first.

I'm in the ATL as well. 

Other than reading lots of books and listening to podcasts I have had no formal training in dealing with analysis and am doing well just with the biggerpockets calculator.
