I have been working in NY real estate for over 10 years (Rentals, Sales, Flipping and Development) and it's time to go solo, looking to invest in new opportunities in and out of the region. 

I'm also interested in starting small Multi Family buildings in the great Mid TN region. 

I used Sierra Pacific to get that done.

I was using the Keys to show the difference between regions and styles of places.

As far as neighborhoods I see the following as top ten appreciating in last year (not clear to me if this median home price appreciation is forced or due to being more desirable neighborhood: Region Name Nov-19 6mo 1yr 5yr Roosevelt Park $165,500 5.68% 17.04% 53.53% Mission San Jose $125,600 11.15% 15.97% 55.06% Historic Gardens $198,600 7.29% 15.73% #DIV/0!

“The August MLS numbers align with what we’re seeing in the new home space," said Vaike O'Grady, Austin regional director for Metrostudy.

I utilized a good onsite/regional manager (gave them a cut back on their rent) when I hit 23 units.

I don’t know who I should call, a mortgage broker or a traditional regional bank?

You can shop local and regional lenders but small balance agency loans will be your best bet for long term financing.

You can talk to local and regional production builders to gauge their appetite and opinions about the market and potential of the area.
