Ironically, I also work at Raytheon.

I may not have real estate experience but am willing to help anyway I can may it be even the best bbq place to eat at if your in Memphis.  

Not much luck on the MLS...Anyway, I was at a BBQ last week and met a real estate investor from Louisiana and he said to try calling around to local banks and getting on a distribution list for their REO properties.  

, you'll also want to iron out if he transfers the property at a zero/low value to your joint entity vs holding in his own name.

Kyle - I just closed another duplex in the area last Friday... it will take some "management" work to iron out the kinks, but this is how we find opportunity.

Make a few improvements and iron out your process for listing and renting the property. 

I to have a ROCK solid electrician such as the plumber you mentioned and the ironic thing is the Sheet rock guy that has given me so much trouble as of late was recommended by my electrician!?

I am relatively new to the rental/investor scene, but am interested in "house hacking" a property in the middle of iron triangle forest park, belding woods, and metro richmore village.

You need a iron clad agreement where every possible issue is addressed in writing.
