So basically looking for input and if there is anyone really looking in the Knoxville area then maybe it's a good lead for you.

I was wondering if someone could recommend a lender and/or contractor with good understanding of FHA 203k?

I attended my first local REIA meeting here in Knoxville this evening.

Only downside now is because it appreciated so much, it's now a lot harder to find deals in my target neoghborhoods now so I've moved my focus to Knoxville, Tennessee as far as buy and holds go and have enjoyed investing there so far. 

Hello from Knoxville, TN! 

However, there is a company in Knoxville that severa people have used - Mortgage Investor Group.

I attended my first REIA meeting in Knoxville.

So prior to discovering BP I signed up for this 3 Day seminar in Knoxville TN that is this weekend.

The Duplex is in the Parkridge area of Knoxville and is currently two 1/1 on the main level, with a stair case down to the basement that used to be a two car garage.
