@Gregory Jimison depending on circumstances it could be the same day.

I'm also looking for possible rental investments in or near my hometown in Tennessee (possible retirement location).I'm really looking forward to networking, and LEARNING from other landlords and investors in the area, especially other women investors/landlords. 

It's not so much what market aspect you begin with as much as it is the type of property, the circumstances that exist before you begin your approach.

The presenter had the numbers to prove what you and your custom builder experience several years ago.Anyway, keep an eye on TREIA as there are lot's of good meetings including the general meeting, smaller localized subgroups, and groups targeting new investors, advanced investors, and women investors.

That said, we have also had tenants whose circumstances changed and couldn't make rent; they then had to move.

it was with that women whose husband had interest only mortgage on it...

Under no circumstances may investors use the exceptions described above to circumvent FHA's ban on loans to private investors and acquire rental properties through purportedly purchasing "principal residences". 

They chose different personalities for each caller, they choose the motivation and circumstances, you can set the rest, property info for them.

Now with our new circumstances we figured it was time to look, plus with her not having any income and having animals, renting was no longer a viable financial option.So here we are today, looking at Single Family properties. 

@Dee Cee If you do go that route try to find one that is specific to realtors, women etc.
