Hi guys, Im new to the forums on BP. I have some concerns about using a realtor who is an investor. I keep thinking why would they want to bring me a great deal when they could snag it for themselves? Have any of you dealt with this? I would love to know your experiences and input. We have yet to find a deal even though we are actively looking. We plan a trip to middle Tennessee area next week to scope out some neighborhoods. Try to find a buy box area. We are looking to buy and rent with the longer term plan to do some rehab.

Any advice for a beginner?

I am looking to invest in the middle TN area. We have found a few smaller cities we like.

Lebanon, mt Juliet and some others.

When is your next meetup? How can I get on your mailing list?

This is a question I have as we narrow down our search for a sfh. You mentioned not paying all cash for the house. We have enough for 25% down on a property. Or we could take the money from that 5% and buy down interest rate.

I will probably be asking lots of questions in the forums.Im new and super psyched to get involved with real estate investing!

Hi Herzliche, my husband and I are looking for some rental  investment opportunities in the outlying areas of Nashville. Any tips for a beginner?!

I am in agreement with you about the crap job our government and current administration are doing. 

I have a question that is rolling around in my head. We have money for a 20% down payment. Even some extra. The question is, what combination makes the most sense? Buying down the rate, using that money toward principle or using all of it as the down payment. Id love to know what you think?
