Don't forget the assembling cost.

My local market is cost prohibitive to invest in and the thought of assembling a "team" of unknowns in another market was scary. 

Knowing what you want to accomplish will help you assemble the team to do it! 

I think I'd have an easier time assembling a team down there and having local people available, not to mention homes down there are much more affordable.

the investors that i have worked with value a pre assembled team. 

Take the time to write down a clear succession plan, define your investment goals, and outline what you want to achieve.From there, establish a budget and determine how much time you can realistically dedicate to completing repairs and renovations.Once you have a solid plan in place, secure financing and assemble a reliable, licensed, and bonded team you can trust to handle the rehab of your asset.I look forward to hearing from you a year from now about how successful your investment is! 

Hi @Eric JohnsonAs you bein your real estate investing journey I would suggest that you assemble your team of pros around you (like the avengers) AKA Your Core 41.

Georgia Amendment 1, which authorizes the General Assembly to implement a statewide homestead property tax exemption, has far-reaching implications for both current homeowners and the broader real estate market.Short-Term Positive Impacts for HomeownersThe primary benefit of Amendment 1 is the cap it places on the annual increase in a home’s assessed value, limiting it to the statewide inflation rate.

Instead, focus on assembling a few key people who can fill the gaps—such as a trusted agent, contractor, and local property management expert etc.

I always check probate courts for estate filings and possible Conservatorship of a senior.Another possibility is that ownership has already changed and title held by entity, just waiting to take next step to rehab, demo, assemble other ownership, etc.
