New (and green) Investor Interested in Chattanooga

[Andy O'Neal]

Hi all -- I'm brand new to BP, though I've been lurking for a month or two.  (I'm so new that my profile pic is still turned sideways!)  BP is such an amazing site that is creating great conversations and communities!

I'm an oddball in that I am focused on Chattanooga, but live abroad (at least for 3-4 more years).  My family and friends all live in Atlanta, so my frequent trips home make Chatt just a quick drive away.  

For my first property - first RE purchase ever! - will likely be a SFR or duplex in or around Highland Park (or the areas to the north and south of HP). I'll be visiting the area right before Christmas and can't wait to get started. If anyone would like to recommend their favorite real estate agent or local property management firm - either here or in private message - I would be grateful. I look forward to sharing my experiences, the good/bad/crazy, and learning together.

Best,

Andy O
