Building a team and making connections

[Wayne Norman]

Good afternoon bigger pockets,

I've officially started my real estate journey after a case of analysis paralysis and a fear of jumping in due to the pandemic. I decided to finally get off the sidelines and jump into the game by getting a single family home under contract. My strategy will be buy and hold, as I have some capital built up and I believe trying to BRRRR or fix and flip due to the cost of materials will be too challenging because I don't have a good network set up yet. I would love to hear the community's thoughts on this. That being said, I am looking to reach out to the Knoxville, TN RE investing community to form some connections and ultimately build a solid network. I am a bit of an introvert and this is out of my comfort zone, but the more I read and learn about this game, you can't do it alone. I am fascinated and motivated by real estate investing and want to learn as much as possible about it. Thanks for your time bigger pockets! Looking forward to what's to come!
