However, while holding this property for a year (positive cashflow by the way) I soon realized the town I live was not the place I wanted to invest long term.

In really crappy parts of town and far away from where I was working at the time.

I'm interested in KC meetups, but will be out of town next week.

After some insistence from some friends to meet their realtor because they said ours were quoting us too low (we are putting our house on the market in 3 weeks) we were very impressed with her and now want to change.The realtors we are in contact with now, no paperwork started yet just talks, helped me buy this house and it’s a small town and I don’t want to be rude or have realtor drama because I thought we had a good thing going until today.Any advice to telling them politely that they got outdid and im moving on?

I help out of town investors (including several from CA) invest in the Chattanooga, TN market. 

If not, for $500K you can get a less expensive home in a few of the towns. 

I will break down the deal as clear as possible, but realize there may still be some missing info.Property: 12.5 acre farm on the outskirts of town.

If you have a long-term lease, landlords may not increase the rent until the lease ends and a new tenancy begins—unless the lease itself provides for an increase.But watch out: https://uwc.211ct.org/fair-ren...There are fair rent towns that limit how much rent rate increases can be done at a time.   

In property management you get what you pay for.A good analogy - If you have a health issue are you going with the cheapest doctor available or are you trying to find the best & most experienced specialist in town?

I’m new to this and I’m looking to rent a apartment in the Medical Center, Mid Town, Galleria area.
