Aspiring Investor in Tennessee

[Derek Buehler]

Hello everyone,

I'm Derek Buehler, a 25 year old professional (Military Officer) and aspiring real estate investor located in Middle Tennessee. I am fascinated with real estate and am currently looking to network with anyone and everyone who may be able to teach me a thing or two about investing.  Bigger Pockets seems like a great place for information, and I'm happy I stumbled upon it at this point.

 I purchased my first home in July, 2014 and hope to purchase a second property (preferably a duplex or condo) within the next two years.  What I have envisioned as a plan of attack is inintially purchasing duplex or triplex units in the Nashville area as rentals. I would be open to purchasing something in need of moderate renovation; I have a good deal of experience in residential construction seeing as my father owned a construction company and employed me for roughly three years.  As I learn more here, I hope to find out if this is feasible.

I've knocked out 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' and am in the process of downloading the podcasts to listen to on my commute to and from work each day.  I'd love to attend a REIN meeting in the Davidson County area within the next month or two also. 

I'm looking forward to learning what I can and contributing to this community; I'm excited to be here!

@Derek Buehler  Memphis is a huge market that investors are purchasing in here on BP. @Curt Davis  is a great resource in that area. Good luck!
