You know its a small town when...

[Cal C.]

I'm investing in a small GA town outside of the Atlanta metro area. On Friday, my agent there mentioned that she had gotten a call from a high school classmate who wanted to sell a rental property they had. My agent said they shouldn't be behind on payments because her (the seller) mother was a retired school teacher and could help her out. However, they didn't have enough money to fix up the empty house either to rent it again or to get a good price for selling it.

On Saturday, my contractor said that the next door neighbor of the house I'm rehabbing, a retired school teacher, mentioned that her daughter had a rental property that they would like to sell and was wondering if I would be interested in buying it.

Business comes in from all directions. Sometimes local, out of state, even out of the country. You just never know. The critical part is picking what type of business you want to accept to maximize the ROI.
