Don't get stuck in that analysis paralysis, the only thing that will prevent you from finding a deal is yourself. 
I'm just on the other side of the Smoky's from you and occasional take day trips over towards Asheville. 
I know the STR market is strong on this side of the Mountains so I'd have to assume it's pretty good over there as well. Definitely an area I plan to look into before to long myself.

Thanks! I couldn't agree more, I'm a finance guy by trade and analysis paralysis is my biggest enemy, ready to kick that and dive in.

Hi Everyone, 

I'm Tyler, I've been a member for awhile now but I had some family issues and moved from Iowa to North Carolina, and kind of fell off the map in the process, so I thought I'd reintroduce myself.

I have been looking at real estate investments for about 5 years now, but I have used the excuse of relocating for work to avoid actually getting started.  In Iowa, I spent a lot of time looking and made a number of offers but never made a deal.  Then the opportunity to move to North Carolina came up and the Real Estate investing got put back on hold.

Now that we're settled in Asheville, NC (and plan on staying put for a long while!), I am ready to get back into the hunt and more motivated then ever!  I am primarily looking at single family or small multi-family investments to start with.  Have mostly thought about long term rentals, but given that I live in a 'touristy' area for the first time in my life I am also starting to research vacation rental valuation as well.  

Looking forward to connecting with the people in the BP community and learning from other's experiences/adding some value where I can as I get restarted in REI!

Welcome to BP Tyler Woodson ... To advance your learning on real estate investing listen to the podcasts. I've learn so much from podcast success and failure stories. I do invest in the Des Moines area near Iowa state fair ground (I generate extra cash during the state fair). Let me know if you need helps.

 Thanks Michael, I am about 30 podcasts in now, definitely learning a lot!

Thank you for the welcome and I will definitely check out the book store!

Hi Everyone! I'm Tyler hailing form Des Moines. I have a background in finance, but I am very green when it comes to real estate investing. I have a young family with two kids and we have a goal of buying my first investment property (or two) this year. Currently in the research phase learning everything I can. Looking into buy and hold or BRRR mostly, but just trying to soak up any knowledge I can get. Look forward to interacting with all of you in the forums!
