Hello BP community, I am reaching out for advice on a financial decision I made that I am now realizing was a mistake.

And if I can be of any value to someone looking in TN, please let me know.Hi Dirk, welcome to the BiggerPockets community!

He had a strong portfolio with solid cash flow, but the big banks just couldn't see past their standard debt to income calculations.What finally worked for him was connecting with a local community bank that actually took the time to understand his overall financial health.

We're continuously seeking opportunities to meet and collaborate with like-minded professionals equally dedicated to the real estate space

There are a TON of online communities as well, and perhaps those groups online have some individuals not too far away from you.Hope this helps!

Just wanted to take a second to say hello and interduce myself to the community!  

- Will I have a dedicated property manager or rotate through a team?

I can't figure out what the economic forces are in the community driving the high rents and relatively low purchase prices.

The best part of the BP community is that the fun doesn't start or end with BPCON with options to connect and learn year round - so let's start before we get to BPCON with a round of introductions.
