@Vina Merrill,I don't have much intel on Knoxville, but I’m active as an investor, turnkey provider, and builder in Chattanooga.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

I'm an investor and an agent in this area and if you ever want to chat about the market or investing, I'm happy to do so.

We had a record breaking online attendance this week, hope to do the same next month:  Top 10 Title Issues Real Estate Investors have to solve with Accurate Title

It's the second Wed of every month, a small group of people and variety of investor experience levels.

This is what is known as a diversification exchange, and can be great for the investor who wants to diversify their portfolio.

An investor who is buying the duplex next to mine wants to trade a duplex he owns in a neighborhood nearby so he can have 2 duplexes next to each other (long story no need for those details). 

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

Found an awesome deal on Craigslist and it allowed me to get my foot in the door with an investor (owner of the property I arbitraged.)
