Thank you for the warm welcome, Marco Santarelli and Brandon Turner! I am excited about participating in these forums. Another thing I've done is be a hard money lender for one house, and I'd like to do more of those notes. It's a pretty good return for not much effort on my part.

Hello everyone. I live in Knoxville, TN. I did some real estate investing in the early 2000s (2002 - 2005) in the Atlanta market and then haven't done anything since then. I still hold one home I purchased during that time as a rental. I would like to get back into real estate investing, especially rehabbing, to hopefully retire early. :)

I need to learn more about this market in Knoxville before diving in. I've lived here almost 5 years, but all my ideas of prices of houses are based on Atlanta in the early 2000s. Knoxville is different, cheaper, thankfully.
