@Kelly Rastatter what is the page on FB? I am in a few Chattanooga Real Estate FB groups but none of them are BP related. I'd like to join up there too.

It's in the description. Hope to see you there! https://www.facebook.com/group...

*Announcing the August Chattanooga Investors Happy Hour!

Thursday, August 22nd, from 5PM - 9PM- we'll meet at Puckett's located at 2 W Aquarium Way in Chattanooga. Kelly will be there at 5:00 pm to meet folks.

As always, this event is a casual, relaxed, no sales and no agenda - it's simply a gathering of area investors. This event has been a lot of fun and extremely helpful - looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting some new folks!

Where: Ask for the Private room. Please look for Kelly if you're on the early side.

Parking: They have free parking on the street and paid lots right outside the building. Use Park Me Lot Search

Note: This event is every 4th Thursday of the month

We have the event listed on FB also

**To continue to have this meetup with no charge, please always tip your server (even if you don't partake from the menu).
See you there!

***We usually have about 40 people show up. Most RSVP on FB instead of here.

Puckett's downtown Chattanooga was very good to us so we are going to the same place again this month. There are a few places where you can pay to park until 6 pm and then it's free. Just drive a block or two and you should be able to find spots available. Otherwise, there are a couple of paid lots right by Puckett's. See you there!!

I finally took action last week. I after listening to the podcast and reading several books I feel like I'm ready. 

I found a few vacant properties close to my house after driving for dollars. Tracked down the home owners through the tax info. Actually found one that is two years behind on his taxes. Found his info after digging through google and paying for a worthless skip trace (SuperMPower) . Waiting to hear back but mailing out letters tomorrow. Also was able to reach another lady and have exchanged texts. Said she would let me know in a week or so. Working on finding the owner of another property but haven't had much luck. What is the best skip trace site that everyone uses?

I'm still not sure how I will fund the deal but tired of waiting. We bought our last house in May off the market and have a good amount of equity in the home. So I thought of getting a HELOC or using family money. I'm handy and have remodel our last 2 houses as the general contractor so ready to try it as flip. We are in a good area that is 10 minutes from downtown so I feel confident if can get one of them.

Check out Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union in Chattanooga for a HELOC. They may not be the cheapest but they go up to 100% if you have great credit. Get involved. Partnerships are not too hard to come by if you are bringing a real deal.
