Ricky, If you can find individual tradesmen that will work for you at an hourly rate, chances are their work will be far under par.

What class is it for/ what type of individual were you looking to interview (agent, investor, etc.)? 

Individuals can get involved in real estate without much oversight.

The short of the reasons being-- I've never heard of someone wanting to move to Memphis (speaks to desirability), the market is too high of a renter's market for me (speaks to less owner-occcupants which can affect quality), if I were to have bought in Memphis it would've been 5 years ago when the deals were better before the hedge funds and individual investors ate everything up, and for current times, there are just higher returns and nicer deals (in my opinion) in other markets.

Individual window air units in each unit.WATER: One water supply, making water included in rentELECTRIC: Individual meters for the 4 two bedrooms, making each unit responsible to pay electric on their own.CURRENT RENTS: Gross: 3050 -(2 bedrooms:700, 700, 675,and 400 for unit with property manager) 575 for basement unit. 

Always looking to network and meet new, like-minded individuals.

@Karlyn Brasselmon  takes some knowledge and skill.. you need to acquire both of those.. asking these very rudimentary questions on BP seems to indicate you need to bone up before you blow a bunch of money and waste your good leads

I'm then going to the state website (where the entity is registered) and digging up the names of individuals.

You've came to the right place if you're looking to connect with like-minded individuals...I'd highly recommend you check out the BP Podcasts and stay active on the forums!

Mainly joined to network with other investors in the area and possibly find a few individuals to partner with on some future projects.
