To leave a legacy that our kids can utilize and then pass on to the grandkids.My day job and career for the last 40 years has been in professional media production and for the last 12 years I've been running my own professional voice over business under my name - Troy W.

We've been in the business for 31 years and have the highest client satisfaction ratings.

I have a couple business partners looking to pool resources to make this possible as well.I am interested in connecting with bigger pockets experts, agents, and lenders in Middle Tennessee or surrounding states.  

What was the business model?

Well what I was thinking that I could do was look for a tax deed property in a decent area (closer to one of the colleges in town) and use my business credit to acquire the property and to renovate.

Duplex is a great first step into the REI market if you can buy one that you can put in a little TLC/renovations, you can quickly refinance in as little as 6 months and buy another property keeping it as a rental.Duplex allows you to use the other "Unit" rents to qualify for the loan or higher loan amount.Rent is a waste of money when you look at an amortization schedule and payoff based on a 5 year model your rental has (ZERO) equity and a home has money you can pull out.

Having said all of that I will finish by saying finding qualified trustworthy people to help build your business is very important.
