Congratulations on your flips, Thomas ! I appreciate the insight. Bass pro moving in was a huge deal, and I love camp Jordan ! Like I said, EMS just gives a skewed perspective, and the population I dealt with most in East Ridge was less-than-savory. 

If I could change the topic a little, how's our REIA ? I saw they do monthly classes. Anyone have experiences with them ?

Okay nevermind. I met some Nashville finance guys trying to work a Chattanooga deal with them last spring. You looked like one of them. 

Jeffrey, Do you rent in East Ridge ? I used to work EMS over there, and I got a biased sense of the town. I'm a little on the fence about the quality of tenants I might find there. I wouldn't be surprised to see improvement with the recent growth but my experience still makes me leery. What is your opinion on it ? 

I agree with Kurtis that Chattanooga has some very diverse opportunities. I love red bank and Hixson but that area around memorial probably doesn't suit my business model. Missionary ridge is next to that area and it's amazing but also not my business model. I'm looking for mid priced homes for working class families. Chattanooga doesn't lack jobs right now and I see no reason that would change.

Daniel, thank you ! I hadn't thought about points. I will keep that in mind. I feel like I've met you, actually. Do you ever work with Blue Dog ? 

Thanks guys! Glad you are doing well here. I can't wait to post a deal. Brian, what are you looking for? I feel there's potential everywhere, if you know how to work a niche. Downtown is gentrifying quickly. I've looked at highland park as an area which is improving, and there are plenty of others. Having jobs helps

Hello everyone. I've been listening to the guys' podcast for awhile, and I've decided to take them up on their Quiiiick Tiiiip! by introducing myself. 

My real estate experience is limited. I've participated in numerous renovations in Knoxville and Chattanooga, so I know how to get myself in trouble at a construction site. Fortunately, I'm clever enough to realize building is not one of my core competencies (I'm an ace at Demolition though!) I guess it goes without saying that I did not find BP on accident. My obsession for a long time has been trying to figure out where to start in real estate (thank you, Kiyosaki), and I have been overwhelmed by the community I have found at BP.

I'm starting to build a little team of mortgage brokers, realtors, and builders here in beautiful Chattanooga, TN, but I'm not at a point to make a move yet. My main business partner and the love of my life is currently serving Uncle Sam abroad and getting our little nest egg squared away for us, while I do the homework and networking here at home. 

We're looking to get started by buying a small multi family near the city. It would be our first home, as well as the start of a lucrative real estate investment portfolio. I like our local economy, and I have a vision of building up some neighborhoods which look a little neglected of late. My goal is to have our first property up and running by the end of 2018. I have bigger goals beyond that, but I also believe in planning, and that's where I am right now.

I'll wrap up by saying that all of you guys who post and answer the forums on this site are truly inspirational. You've given me the hope and the tools to make this work. To Joshua and Brandon, thank you guys for making the podcast so accessible and for all you do on this website. I'm proud to think I can be a part of this.
