Handscraped hardwoods in all public spaces, new carpet in bedrooms, new toilets, new light fixtures, kitchen redone with granite counters & new appliances, bathrooms redone with granite, new quality vinyl siding, etc.A colleague (local realtor) on BP sent me a CMA and we both feel the appropriate rent is $1,600 per month.Here's the big question: does it make more sense to keep this house as our first foray into the rental market or sell the house and take the nearly $100k in equity and buy 3-4 more properties with that cash as down payments?

Vacant double lot with a slab on it.

Single family homes with just 2 bedrooms are even less desirable to buyers. 

With wholesaling you're only putting the property under contract and assigning it to someone else, or possibly double closing where you own it for a few hours and resell.Investing in real estate is actually owning the property, whether it be flipping it over a few months, or long term buy and hold and usually renting it out (my preferred strategy).  

I am in San Diego, CA and almost have to double his costs and, of course, found that out the hard way a number of different times!).  

I've used rentometer.com (not highly accurate), craigslist, and just googling (for example) 2-bedroom rental, Town, State.

I'd like to take this property as an example and see what input others have:Property: Athens, GAAsking Price: $69,900Description: 4/2 double (1,539sqft), You can invest $69,900 in this low maintenance investment and start collecting some good returns.

Can anyone recommend any title companies for closings / double closings?

DOUBLE-END FOR LISTING AGENTI recommend letting the HomePath listing agent double-end the deal to get your foot in the door, if you are comfortable not using your own agent, and it is competitive.

The only exception to that rule is double hung windows.
