Hi @Brandon Z.! I don't think I want to invest in Chattanooga at this time. I lived there for two years but would rather invest locally. Yes! I hear Canton is exploding and plan on doing some research on the area as well as Kennesaw and Roswell. There is a LOT of growth in Roswell. And yes, I have made it through several podcasts just driving to work. Atlanta traffic is crazy. But this newly reignited passion of mine is making traffic a lot more bearable. I actually look forward to being in the car now and am noticing much more about the properties in my area. Just today I saw a mini-mansion being built next door to a $150K house. The whole neighbor hood is about $150K and then this GIGANTIC house being built from the ground up. I hope its a good sign for Roswell. Do you come back often? Maybe we can grab coffee? 

Thanks @Albert L. Best of luck!

Thank you @Dave Visaya and @Tyler Sims for the warm welcome! @Tyler Sims congrats on becoming active! I just jumped back in last week and I have been studying hard! I think that article you referred to is actually how I found bigger pockets. I will read it several times more. What is your area of interest and/or your primary focus in real estate? 

Thanks @Ryan Johnston! I plan on attending the Atlanta REIA meeting tonight. I have already started one book by Brandon Turner. I can't get enough. I do have a question now though, how is the market in Cherokee/Canton area?

@Albert L. Just curious as to what you have decided about the Memphis market? I am new and looking to invest in Memphis as I grew up there. I still have family there and the prices aren't outrageous.  

Hi, 

My name is Michelle LaRue and I am re-igniting my passion for real estate. I have been interested since Carlton Sheets hit the streets when I was 12 years old (my mom never did buy it for me). I have one low income property in Chattanooga, TN, not the greatest deal but I have learned a lot. I am interested in owning more single and multiple family homes. I also want to invest in apartment complexes in the future. I want to provide a steady income for myself, create jobs, and be able to contribute/invest in a nursing/assisted living complex. I currently work for myself as a surgical assistant. I love my job, I love surgery, and I have a lot of flexibility. But...I love real estate as much as I love surgery so I figured now is the time to start my RE education. I want to learn more about tax lien/deed sales, single and multiple family rentals to start this journey. All advice is welcome. 

I found this site by accident and I am so glad I did. I had a friend recently take a course ($1500) and I figured I should be able to educate myself quite a bit for free. I set out searching the internet and reading in my free time. I stumbled upon a post form bigger pockets and found the information incredibly informative. Now, here i am . I am almost finished with the beginners course offered here. I listen to podcasts during every drive (can be quite a lot of time in the car in Atlanta!). I love this site!
