I would suggest going to the find a lender tab here on bigger pockets to find a local lender who has the same products. 

I'm new to real estate investing and looking to connect with local investor.Thank youWhat are specific goals? 

What trends are local real estate investors in the Greater Nashville area currently seeing or interested in?

Usually, the confidence comes from more reps (seeing more homes and being more of an asset hunter not a spreadsheet warrior) and going to local meetups so you can meet all the other people nearby who are doing what you can't get yourself to do.

However, if the owner lives in Cuyahoga County or a contiguous county, the owner may be listed as the local agent in charge.

After checking the local housing authority the SAFMR though the zipcode maximum is $1300.

If you’re wondering how much equity you’ve built or how you can use it to meet your goals, connect with a local real estate agent to explore the possibilities.

Think: a coffee station stocked with local beans or a reading nook with plenty of natural light.

Happy to answer any questions and always open to any advice local experts are willing to share.  

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.
