Hey everyone,I’m currently digging into the Atlanta market to source off-market opportunities, specifically focusing on single family homes and multi family homes.Before I start locking things up, I want to make sure I’m targeting the right areas and price points that local investors actually want right now.

Specifically, I was thinking I could pay him an option fee, which will give me the right to purchase the property at a later date (and gives me time to source funding).

Have a reliable lead generation source.

You will need to independently develop a Pet/Assistance Animal Policy, and House Rules (supplemental to any Rental Agreement for multi-unit property).As to sourcing a Rental Agreement, check with a local Realtor to see if the local Board has one available.

You can also require the request for accommodation befrom a "reliable" source.

I started pulling rent comps from 3 sources instead of one - sometimes there's a decent gap that makes deals work when others walk away with bad data.

Strong follow-up means staying connected on the pipeline from first contact -- whether that's a cold call, a wholesaler intro, or a pocket listing your agent found.How often are you following up with sellers or deal sources you haven't closed with yet?

I have found smaller local banks and credit unions to be a great source for investment HELOCs if you still want to go that route. 

Personally, as a buyer, I give a lot of detail, but I also let my sources know which parameters are subjective or have gray areas.
