Investing in Chattanooga
Hey everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself a few months ago, but I decided to wait until I had my first deal. I have a very demanding FT job and big passion for RE investment. After many hours of reading, listening, learning, researching, I am in process of buying my first rental. September 9th is the closing day. I cannot wait to do more and more transactions. I would love to thank all of YOU for your time and sharing your knowledge. What a life changing platform! I read many of my Chattanoogan friends posts, such as @Jimmy Moncrief, @Michael Rogers, @Aaron Willburn, @Thomas DeMoss, @Edwin Fisher, @Brian Levredge. Recently I read some great books. One is from Brandon Turner. The book of rental property investment- newbies, buy this book today. The other one is from Amanda Han about tax strategies for RE investors. I LOVE it! Friends from Chattanooga, I would love to meet you all. I have an agent, but if you are a wholesaler, let's connect, too.

Hey @John Tilstra, thank you! It was from MLS. The home is a SF in East Brainerd in good school district. I made a long excel sheet and analyzed alot of homes. Age, condition, price, potential income, size, advantages and disadvantages and came up with Top 3. Saw all three with my agent and decided to go with this one and get it $10K less than the asking price. It's not a GREAT deal, but decent one. I was so anxious to start and the next deals will be better, hopefully.
