Congrats on becoming a landlord, welcome to the "party"!

Thinking about a duplex, live in one and rent the other to a section 8 tenant, any local landlords that can give advice on rent analysis?

These reports have been invaluable in helping me make informed decisions about my rental properties.If you're a landlord looking to simplify your life and improve your rental property management, I highly recommend Baselane.

I have been a participant in their survey, as well as a Section 8 landlord. 

A lot of out of state investors like the good land lord laws we have a lower taxes. 

I always recommend to start with turnkey properties to get a feel of being a landlord. 

I would like to plan my start for scaling (thinking of starting out with an owner occupied 2+ units to give a bit of experience owning and being a landlord.

If you have not moved out just yet, it could be smart to just start with signing a one year lease at an apartment or with a private landlord so you have a better understanding of how a lease looks and works.

I don't know anything about knoxville but look to areas you have lived, have relatives, have good friends, know is landlord friendly and know is a growing market.

Sorry everyone it should say Landlord Lunch instead of Main Meeting.
