And that "more to the story" is where the rubber, inevitably, meets the road...

I have heard that Nashville is hot!  

I'll take a look there and see if I can start meeting people in my area. 

This property barely meets the 1% rule, but this is common in this area.  

Feel free to PM me.Looking forward to meeting and working with you all!

I love the team that I have in place, which is a major factor keeping my focus in the same geographical area.Going forward, I'd like to explore multifamily rentals and maybe expand to a second market such as North Florida or Central Arizona.I'd also like to get more involved in the real estate investing community in general and attend some meetings at a local REIA.I'd love to share any of my experiences if it helps someone.I look forward to being more involved as a member of the Bigger Pockets community. 

I can meet you to get the keys and give your deposit back."

My neighborhood(Clinton Hill) is hot right now. 

This summer, guests were treated to a new hot tub and new hardwood flooring in the living room. 

I run the local BP meet-up and if I could generate leads consistently I'd be selling them non-stop to the people around me struggling to get solid deals.
