Newbie living Chattanooga, but don’t know where to start

[Willard Clark]

They tell me Chattanooga is one of the hottest markets. I need help on how and where to start. I'm in my late 40s with my own capital up to 140k. I read is lot of the forums but just too scared to take the plunge.

I need guidance, anyone willing to help?

Honestly what I would tell you to do is you need to do nothing first.

What I mean by that is before you spend any money or buy any properties or do anything you need to make sure that you’re educated.

I would first focus on what my goals are and I would focus on what my strategy is going to be to achieve that goal and make sure I knew that crystal clear and I knew how I was going to achieve that

meaning the strategy and what types of properties which are the tactics are going to help you get there

Just because somebody says this area is a great area or a hot market does not necessarily mean it’s a hot market for you based on your goals and based on your strategy

it could actually be something that makes you go bankrupt if you have different goals then this market provides

Slow down to speed up And educate yourself as much as possible before you do anything
