Why does Chattanooga stand out among other places in TN to invest
What is the driving force for people choosing Chattanooga as the place they choose to do business compared to the surrounding areas or Nashville?

I would also add to @Troy Miller's post, for investors, TN is a great place to invest. Nashville is usally everyones go to for TN because for the most part, its the most well known! And alot of people are moving there. But its getting expensive and first time investors with not alot of capital to start out cannot afford to get in that major market. So cities like Knoxville, Memphis and Chattanooga are ideal for first time investor because those cities are also growing, renters are there and growing, and prices are not high yet! The buy in for that market is alot easier. Its a fantastic city for all the reasons Troy stated or people to move to and live in. With that kind of growth, its ideal for investors because they will see thei properties rented and see good appreciation on it as well!
