Lots of other choices as you get around the city and north as well.Had a similar start to you.  

It was a bad choice since airbnb uses the word superhost for something else. - I hired a english teacher from Brazil to reply to my airbnb / schedule my cleaner.

It's bad faith and bad practice.

The contractor will view his labor as free, I will charge him the monthly to buy the property on a rent to own AT FULL MARKET ARV PRICE, what choice does he have, his credit sucks. 

I have several lines of credit and have not heard or either practice, but it does not surprise me.

Another business form may be a better choice if you plan on having investors, want to fund the entity with retirement funds, etc.It is wise to seek advice of local counsel to determine what the best form is for your goals.

I had to purchase it, no choice.5. 20 Unit - The owner of the 12 unit above told me a broker had contacted him about a 20 unit building for sale and was I interested since he wasn't interested.6. 17 Unit - Broker for the 20 unit deal called me and said he had a pocket listing for the 17 unit deal. 

Is this practice more common, even for investors, in the Atlanta area?

@Xeniya McBroom, as a matter of practice, and as minimum, I ask for:- Property address- Acquisition price- Scope of work you think is needed- Rehab budget you have used to calculate the deal- Your expected ARV and comps to support that figureI've seen some ridiculous rehab budgets, comps that aren't comps, etc.  

Success is a process, failure is a choice
