We do have a Hendersonville specific CREIA meetup that I host on the last Tuesday of the month at the KW office on Main St in Hendersonville. 

Going forward, the best thing you can do would be to reach out to a lender who understands how to work with investors so that they accurately account for your rental and get an idea for your budget/price range.

(There are other methods, but they become more circumstance specific and less likely to accomplish).  

I have not connected specifically with a local commercial land broker.

(Remember that you will be paying between 15k to 20k or more a month in hard money costs so you will need to budget for that).3.

REI Central is absolutely worth attending, and there are weekly subgroups that focus on specific topics.Let me know if you need any more info. 

I’m happy to go over specifics with you if you like. 

Also, if you say no financial contingency, then what happens if after I get the property under contract and present it to my investors they start back-stepping, am I going to be sued for specific performance?

I’d also like to learn more about long distance investing so that I’m not tied to a specific market.

What specifically are you looking for out of your software?
