Hey all.
I'm happy to be part of this REI community. I've been browsing the forums for awhile, but I'd like to start getting more involved.
I've been saving cash and studying real estate investing for some time now. I hope to buy rentals or rehab flip houses.
Unfortunately, I just moved to a new area (Knoxville, TN). I have no idea what the market is like here. I know a little about the different neighborhoods, but it's a lot to take in.
I think I'll need to hire a buyer's agent that is very smart and knows the market well. There's so much to learn!

@Gretchen Roberts@Eric Miller Knoxville REI is the only local group that I know of. Their $50 fee is steep so I seldom go. But the meetings I have been to have been worth it. I don't mind paying for a meeting but something closer to $25/ meeting and I would go to all of them!
Nothing is stopping the BP Knoxvillians from meeting up though...

Eric,
I am in a similar REI developmental stage as you are and I have lived in Knoxville x6 years. I have been investigating the rehab/flip market and potential approaches since I hold my TN General Contractors license. I would love to connect more. Maybe we could grab coffee?

I also am in the Knoxville area now and have recently received my realtor license to work with investment properties. Hit me up if you would like to chat.

Welcome, Eric! I'm trying to get a handle on the Knoxville market myself. There are lots of pockets, and the question of multifamily or single-family is what I'm trying to solve right now.

Do any of you Knoxville folks know if there are any REI meetups? I saw one group, but they make you pay $500 per year. That may be worthwhile, but hopefully there are other REI meetups in the area. Anyone in the know?

The one you're referring to (http://www.knoxreia.com/) is the only one I've heard of as well. Has anyone from Knoxville gone to these meetings, and how are they?
