You will connect with so many great people and get tons of tips and pointers.

For any noobies:  Research a ton and feel free to reach out to people nicely, you'd be surprised just how often people want to help.

Do people have confidence in the multi tenant industrial market today?

(Shorter distance for me)Not sure about knoxville TN, have not been there.I also noticed people shifted to smaller cities to invest.

These people are still currently contacting me.

There are a lot of helpful people here!

Just your basic 20% down get a loan, etc.I know there are 84 other variables that come into play in making the decision.Does the think tank here have any general pieces of advice?

(with conservative assumptions on annual appreciation - 2%, and annual rent increase - 1%, as well as 5% vacancy/maintenance).I see so many people say they only go for properties with at least 15% cash on cash returns, which seems extremely difficult in this market

I was considering going into real estate investing because I would like to cut out the middle man ( the broker that is) lol and have some diversity with my license, not just helping people buy and sell houses.
