Interesting perspective!

Pete,  I live and invest in NE TN and from my perspective it is a great market.

I am currently having an issue with my landlord, and when I searched for the answer the bigger pockets forum was the first to show up so I am posting my question from the perspective of the tentant, but also so when I do buy my first rental I have a better understanding of things.With that being said,I live in an SRO.

Which is great from my perspective, but worries me that it is going too high too fast.

The reason for this is that beyond financial analysis - risk and preference of asset classes can be a personal decision; people sharing their stories and journeys becomes a useful perspective. 

From a lender's perspective, we struggle to get good loan officers.

I think that is exactly what we will do after I reach out to them one more time to try to get them to see it from our perspective.

Here are my responses to your questions from the Bluegrass State perspective.1.)

@Ben Rhodin Thank you for helping to put this into perspective.

It is important to have a long-term perspective that takes diversity, scalability, and portfolio development into account.
