As far as what i bring to the table unfortunately  its not a tun.

Hi I am about to purchase a 5 bed 2 bath about 2000 sq ft no pool in lone mountain vegas. 

It brings many good questions to the table.

Looking into the smoky mountain TN region.

@Joseph Nigro, when calculating ROI it's all the cash you brought to the table--down payment, closing costs, initial repairs, holding costs (if applicable).

For me, closer to the mountains the better.

I have close to a 800 FICO and a W2 job so getting financial should not be too difficult.Go local, attend a local REI meeting and let your numbers be known, what you are intending to do and who can you partner up with to get you there, you will find out about deals and  who is doing what right now that they will be able to bring to the table for you.

At no point in time was this ever mentioned by my realtor, who I'm still waiting to hear back from but am 100% certain he wasn't aware of it.Obviously I'm sure this is somewhere mentioned in the mountain of paperwork I have and am about to start sorting through, but it's honestly been a huge surprise.

@Brian Buckingham I agree with everything that Michael mentioned here - asking if he is an investor himself is a wonderful question because then you know they have the knowledge from both sides of the table. 

I think we did that under the table.
