Getting started living in Nashville, TN

[Aaron Kyle Kinslow]

Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie real estate investor eager to get started. I've been self educating through books, podcasts, and of course bigger pockets forums for the last 6-8 months. I feel that I'm in good position to make a move when the right deal comes along and I feel comfortable and ready. I'm primarily interested in single family home rentals either rent ready or a potential BRRRR opportunity. My vision is to start with single family rentals (up to a 4 plex) and eventually scale into multi family apartments or commercial one day. The biggest roadblock to getting started in my market is the high entry price to get a property. Prices in Nashville, TN, and surrounding areas are pricey compared to other markets. Would anyone recommend partnering on a deal locally or consider investing remotely in a relatively turn key rental property in a more affordable market using property management? Ideas, personal experiences and suggestions welcome!
