Thanks for the welcome  We will likely do some pre wholesale deals as well as some flips etc but our long term goals is to develop a portfolio of rental properties. 

I am hoping to work up to property acquisition and commercial or residential development in the future.

I was very impressed with her professionalism and understanding of the development process. 

Investing in dividend-paying stock or REITs requires very little time commitment, particularly when investors use brokers to develop and manage their portfolios.

@Seth Nadreau 11 million people vacationing in the Smokies every year definitely seems to make it viable for investing :-D I haven't looked into it too deeply yet, but I know there's plenty of cabins that are already fully managed, rented, and maintained by developments/cabin HOAs/orwhateveryoucalladevelopmentofvacationcabins that could potentially be feasible investments.

I'm excited to see how this thread develops!

It is a great area for new development.

Please take the time to say hello, I look forward to developing friendships and hearing about your successes.

I'll continue doing my research and develop a more clear picture of what kind of investor I want to be.

I currently help find investment and development deals for my partners clients, but I'm looking to grow and expand my business as well.
