happy to chat as i'm up in knoxville and have some connections in that area. 

If you buy junkers and fix them up, you can make much larger returns. 

Urban Lot Splits (ULS) allow you to divide a lot into 2 parcels, and Multi-Dwelling Unit Developments (MDUD) are allowed up to 2 units per lot.

I will follow up with the seller but I guess I just had to get it out. 

I took up being an agent as my side hustle that slowly became my full gig but before that I didn't need a side hustle as overtime was readily available to me as a nurse. 

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

I am highly motivated, soak up knowledge like a sponge, and open minded.

I grew up in WJ.

If the property takes some time to find a tenant, takes money to keep up the payments.

More than likely you would need to give up around 70-80% of equity and own a minority - some deals would allows you to buy it back at a set price as well.
