I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

It's been a pretty cool journey and has allowed me to leave my W2, however, I've come to the realization that my current strategy of delayed gratification is no longer working for me.

In short, having all the conversations and commitments in strategy, setting up LLC and all the fun docs of who's doing what, and I'd suggest even getting initial funding into account for at least EM. 

There are so many different strategies within the venue space that I am surprised also that there are not more investors talking about it. 

For an investor that is looking to create wealth and keep doing what they are doing this is a great strategy.  

Your knowledge in construction, design, and different strategies will be a big help to the community.

DM if you would like to discuss this strategy further. 

I saw it coming so I forced myself to learn REI strategies and to read this forums 2-3 times per week.

Sounds like you’re in a strong financial position, and it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into your strategy.
