@Donte Handy that sounds completely insane to me. i go to lowe’s and spend 11$ on a new keyed door knob/lock and install it in 3 minutes. i can’t imagine a scenario where you would need to pay that to be honest.

I know my cash flow would be negative while she was still living there but I would imagine my monthly payments on $58,000 would be decently cheap so even if she only paid me $200 a month i would not be losing too much money right?

I imagine the map and area opinions looking different today and want to get input where you think it has changed.I have done a lot of research and understand the broad concept of Northern and Western areas being the easiest and best to rent, but I am not looking to put an offer in over $175k and inventory seems limited right now.My agent is showing me a few places today mostly in the Birdtown/Cudell area since I would rather get something a little cheaper that needs next to nothing work, compared to something in the same price range needing rehab.

I imagine the folks building these million dollar projects know what they are doing. 

If it's unbearable in an hour, imagine day in and day out.

I'm hopeful that the connection I've forged with him could take me much further than I had imagined :)  I'll keep you posted

Can't imagine giving away $450k on a $15m property.. 

I can only imagine it would take several hours to attempt to record a deed by yourself in a large metropolitan area like Atlanta. 

So Michael, your plan is very doable, it may take a bit longer than you think and it might materialize in a different shape then you imagine right now, but it's a great direction and it sounds like you are fueled by passion, which in my opinion is what makes the difference and answers Brandon Turners usual questions: what do you think seperates the successful investors from those who fail or give up? 

Their problems (real or imagined) are the ONLY problems that matter.
