That’s a great move—starting early with analyzing deals will put you in a strong position when you're ready to buy.Since you're open to other markets in the Southeast, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Chattanooga.

There are people in her program who do 3-4 deals in less than 90 days.She actually cares about clients and is the one who’s teaching and coaching live. 100% recommend
