Currently constructing first SFR ground up 4200 sqft on Eastside set to go on sale in 3-4 weeks. 

I invest in lower B class properties in a strong market (Nashville) where I can cash flow (NOI even after all set-asides for PM, major repairs, etc) about $300 a month for every $170K home I purchase.

What i want to know is how should i first set up a deal like this?

Feel free to inbox me your contact details and we can set that up.
