HINT: some of the best talent in the industry has responded on this thread...

Hey BP Community, I am still relatively new to the real estate industry at least in the sales side (have been a leasing agent for over 3 years).

I would recommend looking for real estate events and connecting with people in the industry to see what the market is like for people flipping, holding long-term, or short-term.

In my professional life, I work as a construction sales professional, primarily in the commercial and industrial sectors.Goals:My journey in real estate investing is driven by several key aspirations:Applying theoretical knowledge to practical investment scenarios.Connecting with fellow investors to share experiences and insights.Exploring collaboration and partnership opportunities for mutual growth.Committed to continuous learning and professional development.Building a sustainable real estate portfolio for long-term wealth creation.Why Syndications?

Population growth, strong job growth, multisector industry/economy (Never invest in an area propped up by a single industry, or worse, a single company), landlord and business friendly, strong development, strong sports teams (even minor and farm teams), lower crime rates than national average, and good schools/colleges nearby.

And it’s not just because of the music or tourism industry, which is what most folks think about when they think of Nashville (who spend $27 million / day).

Are there any big companies or industries close by that will attract tenants to this area?

You're in the same industry as Pace Morby so I'm guessing this could be personal that has nothing to do with me.

This will always be the case as REI is an ever evolving industry. 

It's an exciting time to be involved in the real estate industry.
