Most people here like this area because of the aforementioned reasons as well as the proximity to Cool Springs/Franklin which outside of Murfreesboro and Nashville is the next biggest employer base, shopping, dining, etc. in the region.  

Become an expect in your area.. up and coming legislation that will impact real estate market, developments happening because of demand of jobs and housing, new companies setting up shop.. adding value to other investors will be appreciated..Best way to network and be recognized for it

I won't arrive for a while yet since I haven't finished the basic school, but I plan on using my first couple months to shop around.

@John Teachout noted, will shop around some more come renewal time. thank you!

I’m meeting another fellow BPer for coffee on Wednesday.

Lobby/garden “happy hours” on designated days, intranet portal for residents, vetted and dedicated dog walker, plant watered, some kind of delivery arrangement discount with local restaurants....Free library in lobby, zip car space in parking lot Maybe I can think of more after coffee

I'd love some feedback as I shop mortgages for a mixed-use building I just put under contract.

Probably not, but it's got a little stretch of commercial on 1st from Meade to Knox that will be interesting to watch and see if it evolves from the tire shops and mechanics shops it is now. 

Open to coffee or networking events.
