@Nick CausaI'm about to get on a soap box for a minute - save up for an emergency fund.

I am from NJ but have roots in Athens, TN.

@Brent Coombsthats really the root of my question, if you're looking to have 3 different options on your offer, how do you decided what each option should be?

He recommended...And this phrase is the root of the problem.

Not to mention even though Prices are more reasonable Upstate, NY state in general has Tenant friendly Laws as a beginner I rather learn and make mistakes in a State that laws are more Landlord Friendly, Property Taxes are high in general in NY State and snow is worst Upstate some of the factors why I headed South...After deciding to invest out of State the next big question was which market, I picked 3 did what many do here in BP and probably overanalyzed the markets then visited all 3  markets and made a decision where to plant my roots.

I am licensed and Real Estate has been my full-time career for the past two years, my partner recently left her nursing job and is helping me scale the business now that we are planting roots here. 

I currently live in northern California and I'm very ready to get out and put down roots elsewhere.

Also very interested in networking with anyone (attorneys, CPAs, agents, brokers, property managers, investors) to begin laying down some professional roots in the RE space :)

Unless there's a septic problem, tree root, etc that would have caused the clog. 

I'm rooting for you guys.
