Hey Brett.  Thanks for sharing your interesting story in your self-intro.  It's nice to hear about people working toward their RE goals in my region.  It inspires me and keeps me motivated.  

I'm also a bit of a photographer.  This year, I bought a full frame dSLR, several pro lenses, and 5 speedlights.  I'm hoping to use my new gear and photo skills in real estate!  

Thanks again.

Hi Paul.  Welcome to Bigger Pockets!  There's a wealth of information here and many helpful and knowledgable people.  I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. 

Vivek is right about the Nashville hotel market being in high demand.  http://www.wsmv.com/story/31971007/downtown-nashville-hotel-prices-higher-than-new-york-city

@Aaron Anderson.  What does it mean, C- properties?  Does that just mean they're not in good shape, not attractive to buyers?  Or is it some kind of city/government/real estate designation?  I went to the Nashville real estate association meeting to hear Britnie Turner's presentation (http://www.aerialdevelopmentgroup.com/about/), and when asked, she said the next potentially hot area is West Trinity Lane. I drove that area too, and it's a pretty stark contrast between those 500k properties on the hill near the river and the original homes adjacent. 

Hey Ben, welcome.  I want to house hack too.  I went to Iceland in May (my second visit).  You will love it!  

If you're interested, here are links to my photo slide show and a short video from my trip.

Driving for dollars is driving around and knocking on doors to talk to people about if they might be interested in selling their property or know of anyone that might be interested in selling.

Hey Sean!  Can you tell us about your latest deals?  How are you financing?  Buy and hold? Single family rentals? 

Good question @Reggie Burnett. I'm new to REI, and I've been wondering the same thing.

I'm definitely interested in attending an event like this!  I haven't started to invest yet, but I'm itching to jump in, learn, and meet some likeminded people.  

I've just moved back to Nashville, TN and I have cash available to invest.  I might start by "house hacking", buying a duplex, living in one side, and renting out the other.  I might try flipping at first, before moving on to buy-and-hold.  My only real estate experience was buying my house and selling it two years later for a little profit.
