:D After reading a few of Brandon Turner's suggestions it sounds like I need to connect with buyers in the area and really get to know their preferences, buy boxes, contracts etc. 

Of course you had to be a fairly high volume closer like we were.. u cant just be a one off investor.

I do have some cash saved up enought for a down payment, and i would like to buy a property to flip and make money, I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY, especially for someone who has never done it. 

I like Don's #10!

Sort of like brokers talk about LoopNet, it seems like these would be the platforms that bad deals and/or bad operators make their last ditch efforts.  

Rental Demand: How important is the local rental market or potential for short-term rentals (like Airbnb)?

Laud area-Cash flow is minimal, $300 a month-Selling now would allow opening up of equity to redeploy in another market with over 2x the cash flow for a new build-New market won't appreciate as much as FL though (not even close)-Current home will likely get hit with higher taxes, insurance etc. in coming year and years to come-Biggest reason to consider just keeping current property?

To build knowledge, read books like "The House Hacking Strategy" by Craig Curelop, "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller, "Real Estate Investing for Dummies" by Eric Tyson & Robert S.

Would like to get some feedback please.

Timely completion and staying within budget are key to maximizing profit in competitive markets like Nashville.
