Joining Bigger Pockets hoping to accelerate my learning process and meet like minded individuals.

I am a small investor in the Tucson Az, area looking to meet and learn from like minded individuals.

You have to keep in mind that a plex will never be valued the same as an SFH, and renovations may not have the same effect on the value as an SFH.If renovations are not needed right now, I would work toward getting the rent to market for the as-is condition and then renovate each side when you have turnover. 

So a few weeks went by and I asked him if he didnt mind if I bought it.

Specifically:Share your experiences investing in Knoxville.Recommend resources or tools for market analysis.Help me find off-market properties, turnkey rentals, or connect with wholesalers.I’m eager to learn from this community and collaborate with like-minded individuals familiar with the Knoxville market.

It's so hard to say generally what problems might come up, but the first that comes to my mind is work history - do you have 6 months on the job and a 2 year work/school history? 

Keep in mind this will be at a much higher rate than your current 3.2% interest rate, so I'm not sure if paying off the existing loan is a great choice.

That's a real bait and switch scummy thing to do, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised these days. keep in mind this is not usually bait and switch it could be and they are not being scummy.they simply are at the whims of thier senior credit facilities wants and needs..

Connect with like-minded investors, check out potential opportunities, and start familiarizing yourself with the community.

And started to identify us as who will not make money and never succeed in life.My thoughts:- I don't mind paying $40K for real estate education; however, my reservation is their professionalism.
