Seeking Mentor/Partners in the Middle Tennessee area
Hello BiggerPockets fam, I am new to Real Estate and moving down to Summertown TN at the end of the month (May 2023). I'm planning on starting my RE journey through the brrrr/flipping methods as well as building a LTR portfolio. Any push in the right direction would be much appreciated. Looking forward to learning and growing with y'all!

Hi Andre,
Welcome to Tennessee - it is a beautiful here! Where are you moving from? What made you choose Tennessee?
Personally, I highly recommend posting on BiggerPockets and networking. Agents specializing in investment properties, like myself, are invaluable resources! We're familiar with the markets, and many have access to off-market properties.
Ultimately when investing in real estate, especially not in a native market, leaning on others and hearing everyone's experiences are what I have found to be the most helpful. Market research is extremely useful, but mainly surrounding yourself by the investment community is where I have learned the majority of information.
As far as providing direction, where you invest mainly depends on your circumstances. How much do you have saved up to invest? Which areas are you looking to invest in? What is your exit strategy? Providing more context towards your situation will open the door for investors to tell you about their like experiences, especially in our Tennessee market. If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out! BiggerPockets has built an amazing community with investors full of knowledge, someone will definitely be able to provide guidance!
