I’d stick to Franklin, Clayton, Westminster, hayesville, Bryson city

While 2/2s are better 3/1 are more desirable because of the heavy section market in the city. 

@HaiderFord is also talking about the impact on Memphis.Here is an article Ford put out 12/24https://fordauthority.com/2024/12/ford-blueoval-city-set-to-...

The City seems open to it as long as the contracts are structured the right way.

Stick built homes on city lots are going to be expensive. 

Refer to your state, city and county resources for any required items, or recommended inspections. 

What I'm trying to say is that going up to 1.5-2 hours outside of even the biggest cities, there are pockets of affordable towns/cities with at least positive cash flow (although its never been harder to find than right now, I've been waiting for 3 years for the market to make sense before buying again). 

We repeatedly explained that it’s not done that way in New York State: here, you send in your articles of organization to a state office and they send back a letter with a state seal acknowledging they received the documents.

I am the real estate professional and I worked with hard money lender This sounds like the exact same strategy a client of mind uses in Kansas City!

Hey @Nevin Wilkie. have you looked on the city or county's tax records to find the mailing address for the owner when it's different than the address of the property you want to buy?
