A little overwhelming, but a great site, nonetheless.EDIT - first post in wrong spot then can't spell newbie.

So far, I've made one trip to scout out properties, and a second trip to renovate the property once I found one I liked.Jon and Brian's advice is spot on.

However, you do need to pick your spots, or at least target specific types of listings.1.

You'll have to let me know if there are any "must see" or "must miss" spots in the area.Are any of your Atlanta friends in real estate?

if you have flaking grout you can either saw away the chunks and regrout in spots or if you are insistent upon replacing the grout get a grout saw (at any big box store) and start the lengthy process of sawing out every last bit of that stuff.

I offered a reduced security deposit or two weeks free rent for my rental in exchange for a 16 month lease and the tenant accepted on the spot.

As they sell loans to Fannie/Freddie, they replenish their "warehouse line" through "spot bond prices" that are published daily at Fannie/Freddie's site.

My question is on the standard CA purchase agreement, there are spots where it asks for printed name and signature.

Of course, we're so spoiled that we have to buy them from the best spots in the city....

The RE agents told me to put down a small amount of money ($1K - $5K) to hold a spot of the unit I wanted.
