Hi Shawn, When I left banking during the last major crash and started this company, we primarily were a commercial bridge lender, but we also were a real estate investor.

However, the escrow servicer reneged on the options at the last moment and decided they would only reimburse a HELOC.

We have done all kinds of deals on our own ranging from buying, selling, flips, BRRRRs, and now are also invested in commercial properties along with our SFR portfolio.After retiring from the Navy last summer (2023) and working in a corporate office for 18 months, I have made the leap to working for REI Nation, the country's premier turnkey investment property company.

As Knoxville has seen high 6% appreciation in the last year, can you get a better ROI elsewhere?

I have 4 or my last 9 from TurboTenant.

Ask if they had X, Y, or Z work done in the last 12 months, how much it cost, and who did the work.

So even if they last 30 years and could have produced double their cost.

You may or may not wish to fix it since its likely too late to charge the last tenant's security deposit for it and also that it sounds so minor that people didn't even notice it right away.

I have saved $25k over the last 18 months and continue saving $1500/month from my job.

I should have specified that the policies I have had with my last two carriers (State Farm and Erie) required maxing out the liability protection offered on my properties before they could be listed under my umbrella policy.
