After finding properties that look distressed does people write offers before seeing the inside of the property?

It's not a red flag in the sense that they are doing their best, it sounds like, to make you fully aware of it. 

I guess if I were doing regular unfurnished rentals, I might go with a gray as people are recommending- more trendy than beige now.

Yes, your entity name will go on the deed at closing.3) Before you worry about pitching it to her, make sure the deal makes financial sense as an investment for you! 

It is also good to find out why they are in the area and if that make sense. 

You're looking for increased cash flow, so managing more doors and/or strategically utilizing leverage can make a certain sense there...but as you mention financing costs aren't as rosy as they were 2-3 years ago. 

I completely resonate with this and I think many other people do too. 

The zoning record says it is in an unincorporated tax district. 2) A home in Kennesaw that is also zoned for single family.I see online that there is conflicting info, where in DeKalb county, 3 unrelated people can live together, but Decatur shows 2 unrelated people.

Getting right into it, I have been seeing many posts about people doing the BRRRR method and all of it is very good to soak in.

I would recommend you reach out to the people who are doing it on-market.
