For example, a friend of mine in Murfreesboro saw this happen at properties close to MTSU.

I remeber when a close friend of mine took on a similar project outside of Phoenix.

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.

I’m looking for a market that’s beginner-friendly but still offers potential for steady cash flow and long-term growth.

Security is up to the user, not unlike how someone can store cash.

I suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you can get the right guidance!  

I promise, the only people that will truly understand what you are going through are the people going through it with you right now, or the people who have been through something similar.Your friends won't understand, your family won't understand - they can sympathize - but they can only empathize so much.

A friend whose a land use attorney said it's max 5/AC, our lot is about 0.25 AC. 

Ask me how I know.You have to handle this almost like a (good) police officer would: follow the law to the tee and friendly but absolutely unapologetic.
