@Luciano A.Luciano, I'm relatively confident I can find the right moving parts (GC) in order to move forward.

If you're not confident in your own submission.

We learned so much and gained a lot of confidence in the BRRRR strategy.Thanks again to everyone.

Needless to say, I'm beyond excited to learn more, figure out the process, gain confidence, find a core 4, learn more, study more, and I feel that the wheels are finally on track and I have direction and purpose.

People travel for the experience; this is what is trending. 

@John Harvey - Last year I received branded Yeti travel mugs, branded fleece blanket, and a branded journal. 

But my renters are traveling workers at a refinery. 

If you are not a RE Agent or Broker an IRS Auditor will not look kindly on your deducting travel to a "RE Conference".   

Then when you feel confident and can teach it to someone else, go for it!

I am ready to purchase my first few properties in Chattanooga.I travel to Chatt fairly often but would like to have a more solid feel for the area in terms of where to place my first investment, I am currently looking in Red Bank.Though I don’t plan to rent immediately..I will likely house hack for a year (ideally with a MIL suite or basement) and rent it out afterwards while I then focus on getting a stronger foothold in wholesaling.
