Thanks for the shout out @Scott Anderle! And welcome @Chris Templer! As Scott said, my law firm is a sponsor for TN REIA (Tennessee Real Estate Investors Association) which meets every Monday at 12pm at Corky's BBQ in Brentwood, TN. This is a great way to meet local Nashville-area investors/people in the industry and there is always great information provided. The first meeting is free. Congrats on getting started and let me know if you have any questions!

I'll be moving to Nashville, TN this fall to attend law school and I'm looking to buy a duplex/small multi-family property to live in. I know that Nashville is huge and split into several areas but I don't know much about them yet. (I'm coming from a much smaller town in Mississippi.)

 My budget is around 150K total. I am fairly comfortable with doing rehabs.

Thanks for looking and PM me or respond to this message with any leads!

@Joel Owens  and @John Thedford 

Thanks for the responses guys!

I should have been more specific: If I decide to help this seller I will first help him get the tenant out and then list the property traditionally on the market for standard commission once it is vacant. He needs help getting the tenant out and selling the house and doesn't know what else to do. I don't think he's as concerned with the sales price as much as the headache of keeping up with the house. What would you guys recommend to him?

I recently found a motivated seller through my marketing who has a house in my city that he needs to get rid of. The house is in the seller's name and he wants to unload it for what is left on the mortgage which is roughly what it's worth on the market currently. The problem is that his brother-in-law still lives in the house and won't leave. He hasn't had a renewed lease in two years and he has not been paying rent for longer than that. The seller has described the brother-in-law as both unstable and possibly confrontational.

The seller lives across the country and says he can't evict the tenant from where he currently lives. For those of you experienced in these matters, is it worth trying to help the seller evict this tenant? What steps of action should I take if I want to help him? Thanks!

Post: Pros and Cons of becoming RE agent while a wholesaler?

I am both licensed in the state of Mississippi and currently marketing for wholesale leads.

Pros: The MLS access obviously grants you the convenience of reliable comps that people without it do not have. You can also potentially get listings from leads that don't fit the wholesale model. Like many people say on BP, it's just another tool to have on your investor belt.

Cons: I can speak from experience on this one. You will certainly not make any realtor friends mailing to their listings. I've gotten several angry agent calls inquiring about why I'm "marketing to their property." Even though my letters clearly state both that I am licensed and intend to purchase the property and not list it, the calls still come and they are not pleasant to deal with. Just today I received two. One realtor emailed my broker and informed her that what I'm doing is immoral and misleading. The other realtor called me and asked why I sent a letter to her listing saying that I wanted to buy a 7 million dollar property in all cash and within 30 days. In the last two months of marketing for wholesale leads, I've made about half a dozen realtors not like me at the very least. So unless you are prepared to go through all of the hundreds/thousands of your addresses to make sure that they aren't on the MLS first, you're absolutely going to mail to houses that are currently listed with another realtor and odds are they aren't going to like it. I haven't figured out how to address this problem yet so if anyone has experience dealing with this please let me know!

Good luck!
