@David Robinson There were a number of factors that made Knoxville appealing for us.1- Mid/Small size city which we are more comfortable (similar to what Colorado Springs used to be) 2- Newer homes in general (i don't have expertise in the challenges associated with 100 year old SFHs)3- Diverse and growing economy (UT, Government Jobs, and Medical to name a few)4- Affordability (Turnkey SFHs are available in the low $200K in great neighborhoods)5- It seems more off the radar for investors than Memphis and Nashville which means less competitionAs for credit score, mine actually dropped from 780 to 760.

A little background: I'm 36, married with a 4 year old son who has high medical bills, and a little lady due in March 2021.

Some pharmaceutical company may have been working on a medication to reverse the kidney disease.

I DO NOT however live anywhere and spend most of my time traveling to the Canadian north for work and Internationally for pleasure.

I own and operate a recording studio and the trick to prevent sound from traveling between rooms is simple: create decoupled air pockets.

I travel regularly to the Philippines for work and would love to connect with any Filipino (or other) investors who are based in the Manila area and invest in US real estate. 

I am from Texas and I am not very well traveled.  

He said 6% and we were off to get a traveling notary to sign a contract. 

Some scrap metal guys we know (will travel from site to site looking for scrap metal) took it off our hands and even helped us get it out of the house.

Many are traveling for family/vacation.
