I am a piano teacher and accompanist in Chattanooga, and my husband (@Andrew Randall) and I are trying to get started in real estate here as well.

You will find  Engineers, RN, Teachers, Law Enforcements, Military and the list goes on..You have good suggestions for books who responded to your post, check them out..

I do not cater *only* to military, but this housing is also suitable for teachers, policemen, firefighters, and similar tenants.  

Our teacher for the real estate exam class claims that veteran agents usually make around 3 times the amount I'm currently making per hour.I'm not a veteran agent obviously but the point is, if I continue down that path then I will end up in a place where my time is worth 3 times as much as it stands now.

I'm a single father, teacher and basketball coach.

I'm a teacher but am looking at the Kiyosaki cashflow quadrant stuff very seriously..

These aren't issues that are specific to flipping and should be a primary focus for any real estate investment - The bottom line is that you made a profit despite the challenges you faced - and congratulations for that - but it seems to the bystander that you gambled with another investor's money while investing very little of your own - you put yourself in the position of a teacher or mentor when in fact you are not extremely experienced in the business of flipping - consider how you would feel if you lost a portion of your partner's investment....Today I am closing on the purchase of my 15th flip for the year, and I wouldn't dream of taking on an investment partner who wasn't equally experienced and had an equal say in the decision process.Good Luck with your future projects and Happy Investingjeff 

City workers have to live within city limits so you'll always have great potential tenants in fireman, police officers, teachers and park district employees. 

I am currently a music teacher, and I'm looking to invest in real estate for financial freedom.
