 That's good to hear man I'm excited for you!  I'm still getting a feel for the areas, but I'm having more buzz in the SouthEast/Antioch area. You?

@Chaz Reid  Thanks! Yes sir I do! (Also keys and drums if you happen to need a musician haha)  

@Larry Fried  Thanks Larry, I'll have to check it out.  Lots of information on BP! 

@Corey Johnson

Hey Corey, yes I thought about that but I'm in the process of getting an FHA loan, and was told they don't make loans for duplexes anymore. I think they used to. I'm sure I could get a conventional loan for one, but I don't have the 20% down. Great option though, I'd like to go that route soon.

Hello BP!

My name is Mark Douglas.  I'm 22 years old, and totally new to all of this!  I graduated college with a B.S. in Agriculture Business in May '13, and just relocated to Nashville, TN in December '14.    

I'm currently in underwriting, but I'm looking to eventually break away from the 9-5 and generate a steady income from wise real estate investing, specifically in single family and duplex properties.  

By January '16, I hope to have purchased my first single family home to rent out.  I'd like to have a few years of solid renting/landlording experience before I incorporate duplex renting. 

Any and all advice is appreciated!  I know this business is not easy, but I am excited to learn as much as possible and see where it takes me.

Thanks so much.  Looking forward to chatting!

Mark
