Finding a mentor & networking in Nashville, TN

[Maha Mikhail]

Hi guys, my name is Maha, I'm a newbie moved from Australia with my family last year. I thought I will get out of my comfort zone and introduce myself.. I am expecting a baby boy Jan 2nd. I am also in the middle of researching, reading and studying to be REI. Everything is overwhelming at the moment. I have started going to REI meetings..read most of the books and a lot of the blogs n forums while I've got the time :)

I am looking at buy & hold properties..mainly REO's .. so hopefully I can find a good deal soon.. Would love to connect with any1 in Franklin/nashville TN.

I am so greatful for BiggerPockets & the tons of info here... Having paid around $600 for 6 day courses with big gurus.. Came out as confused as ever!!! 

Thanks & looking forward to a new beginning..

Maha

Welcome to Biggerpockets!

You came to the right place as there is tons of wealth and knowledge! We are buy and hold investors in single family homes. Specifically in class A investments so we can self manage. We also got started in renting out our home when we were transferred and the bug bit us. We invest in areas were appreciation is higher than inflations. As our goal is for early retirement in 15 years :)

You will love the diverse community and all the resources. There are tons of methods and niches with everyone having different specialities. So a great place is to look around the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts for different niches. If you see a post you enjoy check out the persons signature. Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website. So definitely check that out as it is an amazing additional resource. For example, my blog is about while working full time, buy and hold investing, 0% Down Rentals, Personal Properties turned rentals, Long distancing investing, self-managing 3,000+ miles away. Definitely list your blog or website in your signature, if you have one. Its a great additional networking source.

Look forward to seeing and connecting with you around!
