Don and Jay - thank you so much! 

Good to know that I should look at seller financing first....

I hold 5 properties (making up 17 doors) in NC and TN since 2020. What scale should I be at to explore sub to? 

One of my properties in 2023 needed some rehab - I'm thinking of potentially going the BRRR route which gives me 90-100% financed option. Assuming that has some risk but not as high as sub-to.

Thanks again! 


well your far from a beginner so I am sure you can deal with any of the creative financing vehicles.. my advice was for someone just starting out.

Thank you Jay! Any recommendations on how to do my 1st sub-to. Do you recommend a mastermind or learning group? 

Best,

Chi

Hi BP fam! 

I'm starting to investigate more creative financing options to scale faster in 2025 - 2030. Seller financing, Sub-to along with BRRR seem to be the ones that have the most options when it comes to 90-100% financing. I'm keen to learn sub-to - other than Pace, are there other masterminds or options that I might use for some mentroship/education?

Thanks!

Chi

How much experience do you have, and in what?

Where do you want to do this relative to where you are, and why?

My initial reaction is to tell you to get your head examined, but as I get older, I get kinder, so I’d like answers to the above questions before I tell you to get your head examined.
Wow! Now I’m curious. What insights might you have that are creating this reaction. 
If we can have a productive conversation- please do respond - otherwise I’m ok to find others who can help. 
 
Take care!

Thanks Chris. Yes. He was one of them also. Good to know. 
mid really like a 1:1 mentor. If that was an option too. But I’ll explore the groups that have more action/outcomes focus and go from there. 

Best,

Chi

Apart from Nashville and Murfreesboro - what are the other good markets? Ive narrowed it down to 10 markets but wanted to speak to anyone in these markets that doing any REI work. Buy and Hold Peeps or Brokers /Agents also.

1. Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin

2. Knoxville

3. Memphis 

4. Chattanooga

5. Clarksville

6. Jackson

7. Morristown

8. Cleveland

9. Johnson City

10. Kingsport-Bristol-Bristol

Thanks!


Kentucky is a great state for real estate investment, offering solid cash flow potential and a vibrant rental market.


Hi Nate. Thanks for this. Which markets in Kentucy would you recommend? It’s on my list also.

Quote from @Gino Barbaro:

@Chi Sastry

The only other one I can think of is Clarksville. Great list. There are people still moving to TN, which will continue to push pricing up, and while most of the country has seen rents either flatten or go down, most of these markets have done pretty good.

Problem is in the short term it may  cause an affordability problem, especially in the smaller markets that don't have enough building. I saw a stat the other day that over 60% of multifamily in Nashville has been built within the last ten years.

Good luck

Gino


 This is very helpful. Thanks Gino!

 Hi Chi, Chattanooga is a great market to look into. We specialize in out of state clients and Multi family is our specialty. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hi Mike - that’ll be great. Thanks for the input. Would you be available for a connect next week?

Thank you,
Chi

Quote from @Taz Zettergren:

Memphis is a great market to be in, little more favorable from the cash flow standpoint than Nashville. There's a large presence of blue collar workers with a strong rental demand. Would be happy to talk through the ins and the outs of the area. 

Hi Taz- that would be great. Are you available next week?

Best,
Chi
