 Thank you.

 I do not want to be responsible for anything missing. So this is way I just get my own mail. I figured there's no law that requires me to be responsible for my roommates mail.

Hello All,

I have a rather specific question. I'm residing with roommates and when I usually leave the driveway, I stop by the mailbox and just get mail that belongs to me. I leave other tenants' mail in the mailbox. 

One of my roommates complained about this. He wants other tenants to bring his mail in when they check for their mails. So the landlord is attempting to enforce this.

My question is, am I legally required to take all tenants' mails into the house or is it okay for me to just pick through and only get mails that belong to me?

This is not a big deal, but I thought it'd be interesting to know. 

Thanks for your help.

As landlords, how do you go about analyzing a market for buy and hold properties? What factors do you consider when determining the demand for people renting a room in a given market? How do you determine that you will have occupancy for a buy and hold in a given market? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

 Thanks for that information. 

Hello all,

I've done some research and have been considering finance options for my first buy and hold property. Properties in the Alpharetta area seem a bit overpriced, so I'd like to focus on a remote market. This eliminates an FHA loan as a option since my daily commute to and from work would be an hour+ with traffic. I've read that HML require you to have some experience and a portfolio--doesn't seem likely that a HML would lend to a beginner. I've asked some friends/family, but no luck there.

Is there anyone who has been in my position before? If so, what creative ways did you implement in financing your property? Is my only option to save until I have enough for a 20% down payment? My apologies if this is a repeat question. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
