Absolutely agree.

So, I would absolutely do one to start setting the expectation.

People who went to college are generally the absolute worst at construction...left brain/right brain thing.

I would absolutely encourage you to get out to local investor meetups. 

I have absolutely nothing to sell and have been self managing MTRs for 5 years.

But if they are even remotely close, its an absolute no brainer - go with knoxville. 

All you need to do is apply the 3 pillars of a conversion correctly and drive traffic to your website manually, and within 2 weeks, you could close deals—absolutely.

It's absolutely worth taking a deeper dive.I've been investing in Detroit proper since 2019 and have 12-doors there.

Hey @Anne Christensen - Having been on both sides of real estate meetups (attending and hosting), I can tell you they're absolutely worth your time if you pick the right ones. 

I have a list of maybe 15 note buyers and feel that if it's not an absolute deal killer, one will accept that they get the head of the note and my loan is 100% LTV against the tail.If you have to partial first to build a note portfolio that meets minimum loan amounts for lenders, then you have an order of operations problemThe only thing I can think of here is to write in the partial sale terms that I have the right to take a loan against up to 50% of the UPB on the note and retain the full right to collateralize it for loan purposes, as if I were the sole principal.
