@Andrew SimmsMASSIVE ACTION

My options are A) accept the stability and lesser headache that comes with taking no action for the time being in exchange for accepting his below-market rent, or B) accept a turnover from a good tenant and pay for a renovation in exchange for a significant rent increase (in the ballpark of +15% right now with a strong upward trend).My inclination is to go with option A and renovate when the tenant chooses to leave or when the disparity between what he pays and what the market rate is gets closer to 25%.

Hey BP fam, ok so i have come to the conclusion that i need to be taking other action steps in real estate while i'm building my credit so i have decided to give wholesaling a shot so my question being does anyone know of anybody in the Chattanooga TN area already in the wholesaling field that wouldn't mind  grabbing a cup of coffee or sharing some helpful tips over email.

This will help you be decisive when it comes to taking action.

Aggressively saving to do my first fix and flip by the beginning of next year and looking to exchange sweat equity to learn the tricks of the trade.

You may view it as saving money every month, but you will be trading your time.

Have a plan in place that you can put into action daily to obtain your goals. 

Over the last 4 years I was running a couple of businesses in Chicagoland that sold to the trades.

But I am a person of ACTION and all this is driving me crazy.

Your best course of action would be to learn the market.
