If I could I would turn the power, water, cable and internet off to hopefully rid them of the property sooner.

. :-)I think I got the bills confused there.

Some operations were offering free housing, so they could bill for the testing.  

And I have never received a bill where the cost of repair was any higher than I thought I could get it, and usually its cheaper.One bonus of a PM, you dont have to worry about anything.

We bill our investor owners the cost of the job.

Banks like the high income and it will make getting financing very easy (as you will not need to rental income to pay the bills, so to say).  

Atlanta fits the bill on most of those things, but am not sure that its a great place for investments.

I think rates will increase slightly in 2016 which will lower buying power slightly but I do not expect to see huge jumps as the rest of the economy can't withstand such increases.I think we will see further stabilizing in the market and healthy appreciation rates of 5%- 10% annual for 2016.

KEEP WORKING, sacrifice some stuff such as latest smartphones, fancy new cars, dining out, shop at discount stores, build up a bit of credit (takes a couple years), show a steady wage for a few years, buy a duplex, live in one side, let the other side pay your mortgage, KEEP WORKING the entire time, you will be amazed how quickly you can start saving money when you take large bills out of the equation such as rent/mortgage.
