Chattanooga, TN resident, realtor, and (newbie) investor here.A mentor told me real estate is all about building relationships, so here I am!

If I knew 10 years ago what I know now about house hacking, I'd be doing it, but we are in a condo building we converted with friends - and our condo is paid off - so we're staying put for the foreseeable future.Thanks for the thoughts on lower cost areas and rehabbing.

We are a group and one division do wholesaling,  we buy from them all the time and Multifamily buildings too.

I’ve managed to buy 7 buildings with 25 units.

So we would definitely have to build some trust among the group before we went that route.

Our portfolio in Illinois (close to Chicago):All properties in this portfolio are the exact same layout in terms of sq ft and having 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom and are Condos in a 4 unit building Only difference is when each unit was renovated or not.
