I live in middle tennessee as well

Hey, I have a family member trying to buy a first time house in the area.  His plan is to live in it and have roommates as well.  Are there any good up and coming areas that you think are decent long term holds for a primary house?

I'm wondering if there are any good groups to learn about RE in nashville.  I looked on meetup and there are a lot but I don't know which ones I should join.

I'd be interested if a spot is open.  I'm in nashville.

I work in software QA right now

Ok, seems like I'm off with my terminology (confusing building vs. complex).

I think I understand.  I don't mind working with a RE agent on this, when I said go it alone I was mostly just hoping to finance the purchase myself and not have to pool money with someone else to get a loan.  Though even this is just a preference.

What should I look for in a good partner/RE agent, are you able to give tips on that?  Where's the best place to meet people in your experience?

Hi,

I'm Brandon and I'm an engineer. I've been trying to get into real estate for a while but I either didn't have the money or I was planning to move soon.  Finally think I'm at a spot where I can look at this seriously.  I look forward to exchanging ideas and helping each other out!

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi,

I move around too much for my job to do the normal route of buying up SFR/MFRs and managing them before moving on to a new deal, so I would like just jump in and buy a small apartment complex and get a property manager right off the bat to manage it. I think owning a large property that is out of state with one property manager would likely be easier than multiple smaller ones (and I can't even imagine keeping track of multiple PM's). Since I travel anyway I'm fine expanding my search to the entire US rather than my local area (I'm near the midwest right now).

I have about 130-170k in stocks that I could pull for a deal like this.  I'd like to go it alone for my first purchase if possible (i.e. not form syndicate).  

I read the beginner pockets guide and their article on finding commercial deals; I've also done a little bit of snooping online to try and understand the process (loan types, etc.).  Other real estate knowledge comes from reading on reddit and some youtube videos by graham stephan, a lot of this is more geared towards residential so I don't know how much of this carries over to commercial RE.

However, I'm not sure what to look for, how to value things, what to look for in a property manager, the commercial RE loan process, etc.  I could really use some advice.
