Yes, I am exploring the forums and websites.

What was nice about Memphis was a number of turnkey providers with excellent reputations who are also active on BiggerPockets.In terms of lenders, I got competitive rates from the lenders who specialized in working with investors, and who had previously worked with the turnkey operators.

I have been exploring different markets.

I have a very experienced and reputable custom home builder on board to do the construction.

That $536.67/mo is why PMI has a bad reputation. $137/mo on a $400k loan, by contrast, is trivial and shouldn't suffer the same stigma as the 5% down shoddy credit PMI, in my opinion. 

Hello all,My name is Chris Shelton, I am in the Cleveland, Tennessee area, which is about 20 miles NE of Chattanooga and 50 miles SW of Knoxville.My wife and I have recently decided to start learning and exploring the world of REI, specifically for passive and capital cash flow.

I'm just starting to explore. 

As a result, I'm finally starting to feel more confident in my understanding of the terminology, concepts, etc. of Real Estate Investing and would like to start to explore a market that I have family ties to.

I don't know much about Kuna, but the Vallivue school district in Caldwell / Nampa, has some nice facilities and a good reputation.  

I would recommend attending your local REIA and networking with reputable wholesalers.
