Memphis and Chattanooga on the other hand seem to have better cashflow in my professional opinion.

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

If you have any lending related questions, feel free to contact me. 

I would like to make it to one of those events, but I don't feel like an investor meet up/event needs to have a door or member fee, makes it feel like it is being done for all the wrong reasons.

Little Elm, with its cozy suburban feel and cheaper homes, is also on the up.

We are thinking very long term, so in order to cover bases regarding potential deaths, wanting to pull out, or being unable to afford the investment it seemed like the best way to go.Really looking for some general advice is there is any, we feel we've googled and researched everything that will apply, but are there anymore pieces to be aware of? 

I've tried and spent a crazy number of hours doing research on taxes and assumptions, but it's such a big financial decision that we don't feel comfortable navigating it on our own.

I'm trying to determine if I can qualify as a real estate professional. 

I am learning about turbo tenant and feel fairly confident I could manage most things using it (as long as tenants were able and willing to cooperate with using a computer/app)  However I'd still like a property manager/company whose name, address etc is what is exposed on the lease agreement.

You can be although I've heard before that's not a good idea, but honestly I can't remember why and don't feel like looking it up.
