The scarcity of options that these people have makes them happy to drive a bit to solve their problem while also maintaining their comfort and safety during their stay.

Memphis is street by street and I am happy to share insight on specific pockets I would stay away from.

I do believe it will help, giving me access to the MLS and can run comps and have knowledge of the market.Also, will be looking to house hack and buy and holds if I can get all the pieces to fall together.Will be attending meetups to network.Will be searching for my own deals with some local realtors.

Knowledge for whoelsaling is pretty good , i am just needing assitance so i am able to help others as well once i am comfortable on my own .

Starting with smaller, less risky investments can help you gain knowledge and boost your confidence.

Looking for some advice or should I stay in my home town and purchase here but I really don't want to stay here for no more than 2 more years. 

Are you asking about longest MTR stays?

There is a plethora of knowledge on this site.

They also give you the option to buy the lien for subsequent years so that you stay in first priority (the whole process takes 3 years before the property is forfieted).

If occupancy rates stay as they are now for the next year or two, I will still cash flow around 50k-80k with this new cabin build.
