In Nashville you'll see greater appreciation of your asset and, more market variety so you'll be able to find the exact type of property your looking for, and Nashville's market is red-hot right now so finding tenants for a cash flow would be much easier in Nashville than in Memphis or Chattanooga.

For example: was it caused by poor grading/drainage, tree roots, post-tension cable failure, water leak, poor moisture management (i.e. no sprinkler)?

When you refi and hold you may not have any cashflow after debt service and one bad tenant or big repair issue can put you in the red fast.

I personally invest in Austin (16 units currently, mostly duplexes and fourplexes), but maybe more to the root of what you're really asking; there's a TON of interest from California investors in our state.

But just inland, you'll see yellow and red areas (ie, lower price points!)

I am in the very beginning of my red career and was wondering is anyone on here has ever raised capital to fund their investment(s).

Might be called Red Barn Investor Group or something like that. 

@Marita Jojo I always do nice spirit like don Julio 1942 or a bottle of red wine like silver oak Cabernet

If they are leaving valuables out in the open, leaving windows unlocked, or not drawing blinds, it is a red-flag.
