lots of options depending on your goals. i focus primarily in knoxville with long term holds and a few flips. my long term holds are focused in 37921 and 37912 zip codes and focus on long term tenants and student rentals. oak ridge has a great upside for long term renting as well as mid term with the lab and all the contract labor that goes in and out of there. happy to pass out some references if needed. 

I have saved 80,000 to put towards this goal.

Hi Chris, DSCR loans are very common in the investing world.

I guess i would like to have clear goals on what to aim for when i save money and understand who i can reach out for such things.

There is a lot that is just common sense and stuff you should just know.

The key is your local market must align with your goals and timeline.

@Stephen BrossardWhen deciding between investing in Michigan or Florida, it really comes down to what you personally prefer and what your goals are when it comes to risk.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward your real estate goals.

The ultimate goal of the first deal should be to do the first deal so you can do the second deal!

Our goal is to focus on buy and hold properties for now, and we are hoping to purchase our first property in the next few months.
