My client closed on one of the duplexes in Fort Valley earlier this year, very likely one of the ones you were looking at or very nearby.

.🛠️ They take abandoned homes and turn them into safe places for families🌱 They bring life back to neighborhoods that others wrote off 📚 They create spaces for small businesses, nonprofits, and neighborhood services.They’re not just chasing cap rates—they’re using their development skills to give back, one property at a time.As a former Director of Lending at a CDFI, I exclusively financed the acquisition and rehab of 2-4 MF and small apartment buildings that overlooked by local banks and credit unions.Nearly all my clients had 1 of 3 things in common (many had all 3) that motivated them to complete their redevelopment project, they either:1️⃣Grew up in the area,2️⃣Still attend church nearby, and/or3️⃣Have a family member that still lives in the neighborhoodAnd here’s the thing:↩️These impact-minded investors still make a solid return, often with Equity Multiples over 3.0x.

A client made an over asking offer on a $775K+/- that was not accepted due to an alternative cash offer.

I recommend Relay to all my clients.

No attorney-client, fiduciary, or professional relationship is established through this communication.

They even supplied us graphs showing this - and now they want to know how we did it.Great news, but it doesn't really help our clients get their rentals filled:(FYI: we have 3 team members that write rental ads and every 30 days we rotate who rewrites the ad of any property still on the market.

Plus, depreciation recapture could offset any gains there.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I've got several clients both local and out of state that use that method.  

The process can take client's anywhere from one month to two years of active and consistent searching, analysis and dealmaking to acquire the right home.

I generally recommend that my clients get their first lease done professionally, based on the state, tailored to your particulars, and get it done really well.
