There is a REI meet up happening once a month that I go to.

We have an upcoming meeting with them to see how we can extend the loan a few more years to make the total monthly payment including installments for the annual property tax bill, which we’ve had to pay for them this year since they were late the last couple years and had to pay interest to the county. 

I haven't been to any local investor meet ups quite yet.

Being albe to disect trades work that will not only meet inspection standards but exceed the investor or owners expectations. 

Network, Network, Network.Meet others at meetings.

I continue to affirm that no agreement between me and estate legal exist, as there was no meeting of the minds, which is required for a legal contract inder NC State Law.I furthermore had rescinded my offer to enter into said contract with them due to this lack of the meeting of the minds.I continue to request a full refund. 

I don't recommend throwing the baby out with the bath water, and definitely make sure you understand the nature of the Mentor you choose.BP is a great resource to meet some amazing people. 

Would love to connect and get to know/meet investors on here and form a relationship where we can help each other.Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated!

It’s great to meet you, and congratulations on your journey into real estate.

Due to the popularity and scarcity of these properties in Nashville, it would be difficult to find a property meeting the STR requirements given a proposed purchase price of ~$300-350k.Additionally, your situation is a bit unique as it sounds like you may be living away from your primary residence more often than not, and as such, I also recommend you confirm with a lender whether this situation would qualify for this type of (primary residence) loan.
