If you grew up in a household with an unhealthy relationship to money it is even more difficult to overcome.I have come to believe that we no longer live in a financial setting where someone with limited knowledge is able to invest in a few mutual funds and a couple of rental properties and forgot about them long term.  

Another great resource to research stats on cities is http://www.city-data.com/city/Atlanta-Georgia.html and https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/atlanta/real-estateMedian household income: Median house or condo value: Median contract rent:Unemployment:Residents below the poverty level: Median resident age: Median property taxes: Crime: ?

I do have some real estate investments that allow me some of the tax benefits for our high income household, but as a whole, we do not want the albatross around our neck of being a landlord or in charge of some fix and flip. 

Given the average household size of 2.5 persons, a total of 6.9 million new housing units would be needed to accommodate the country’s rising population.

Of course there are a ton of rich people that aren't household names that own a lot of property too. 

Pre-screen for income to make sure their household monthly income is over 2.5 to 3 times rent.

Ok, If you're looking for a higher monthly cash flow from your rental homes, then you need to be where rentals are over 50% of the households in that city.

Scenery: 1 (mountains, river, trees)4. amenities: 1 (Park, pool, river, football field, tennis court, baseball field (not close enough to be hit lol), yard)5. crime rate: 1 (literally only a few assaults in past year and one robbery)6. income: 3 (median household income = $43,000)7. transportation: 2 (some but not much)8. walking distance: 1 (close to everything)9.

Relationships/households can NOT form or grow without conflict. 

The law allows an emotional support animal to be any common household animal.
