I can see all the neighborhood kids hanging out here.

There should be no visible signs of gang or other criminal activity - no people hanging out on corners, no graffiti, etc.It is important to note, however, that many areas are street-to-street, meaning that one street can have rows of lovely B properties, while one street over is a War Zone, so you need to look at properties within that context.

I may need to move for work in the near future, but I know that I can still hang onto this property and make money because I built 10% property management into the calculation.

That's fine, we still have the option to assign.I had tried to get the property with little earnest money since I planned on doing the deal and he had approached me, I didn't think it'd be a hang-up.

I also need a drywaller to hang and finish the entire house.

Are you specifically looking to join a real estate team (like as a buyer's agent, etc.) where you can start working their leads on day 1, or are you just looking to join a firm as an individual agent where you can hang your license? 

The inventory is low not because people are hanging Onto homes but because of the amount of people moving here., in my opinion.

Be an adult and make personal contact, email, text, phone, western union, something, just do not leave that person hanging.2.

Sounds like you are off to a great start and have a course set to reach your REI goals.If your wife or you need an office to hang our license here in GA - We have the top KW office in the entire country and would have you in for an interview.Also, if you need to be shown the best off market investor price deals around Atlanta - I can be a great resource for you.

I want to jump right into investing but have a few things that are hanging me up.
