Everytime a relative of mine says that they'd never do that because this or that happens and evictions and the like are aweful blah blah blah, I just take a look at the way they live (check to check, etc), and think,"bring it on!"

Hello,I'm a relatively novice investor in Tennessee.

There are lots of people on here that would probablybe interested in teaming up with you in some way.Keep reading the Bird Dog forum and related topicsfor those asking for team members.We're glad you're here!

Because this forum is business relates, I believe there should be a strict no URL in posts policy to maintain / ensure integrity.

I’m just popping in to try and setup relations with a few realtors.

There are many, many scams out there and it appears several of them are related tooffering 'leads' or 'ads'.I am bordering exposing one just now, just waiting to see if they will truly return my money as they promised.Gerri Peek

She was from over seas and had no relatives here in the U.S. 

However, viewing it from my side a year ago - I was taking into consideration that I paid retail for my first 2 rental properties so this was putting me ahead of the game when compared relative to those (as an aside, those retail purchases have worked out just fine for me).

*******But this is the kicker, and i need some real advice on this:apparently there was a revision to the association bylaws and they no longer let any owners rent out their units if they purchased on 6/2005 or later. everyone else before that date is grandfathered in so they can continue renting.NOBODY told me about this. not my relator, or my attorney. i even asked my realtor about rents in the beginning because i wanted to make sure it wasn't a co-op and the seller's attorney said renting is fine.so you can expect how shocked i am when i went into the office today to receive my new homeowner's welcome kit and she mentioned the new resolution to disallow any renting of units. she said my realtor and/or my attorney should have made me aware of this.i feel like i got majorly screwed. what am i going to do with a 2BR/2BA living by myself?

I went from investor to getting my real estate license, the opposite of you, and have a hard time relating to other agents most times because of the different backgrounds.
