. $7k sounds more reasonable but I think setting 5 to 10 years for you and your sister to reach Financial Independence and quit W2 job (assuming you also have W2 job unless you own a business or are a real estate agent) is really challenging.

Like Agents who say they are in the million dollar club.. well when houses were 50k each that was something you know 30 plus years ago..

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I’d love to connect with experienced investors, agents, and property managers to deepen my understanding of the strategies and markets.

My agent is currently finding best rates with Travelers.   

The owner representative (not an agent, just family) seems to not be a fan of this option because he does not understand it.Option 2: If option 1 does not work, or they are unwilling, the offer I see as valid for this property to make sense is about $290K plus taking over the solar loan.

Im an agent/wholesaler here & I'd love to connect and see if I can help with anything.

@Cody Baum - Can you become an investor focused agent and get practice in real estate without it being your own money? 

Any agents have a client looking to invest in Tennessee?

I would vet contractors by finding local real estate agents that also work with investors, and/or a rehab investor in your area that does a lot of deals.
