Hello, everyone. My name is Asia Bacus and although I've been listening to the BP podcast for several months now, this is my first post in the community. I live in a rural area close to Greeneville, TN (about 45 minutes from Johnson City) and have decided to really start pursuing real estate investing. I'm interested in rentals, specifically house hacking at first, and also live and flips. I'm a momma of 3 young kiddos and am interested in meeting real estate investors close to my area, especially ones with kids! Thanks for reading.

Welcome.  I went to East Tn State and familiar with Greenville.  I am now outside Nashville but have rental properties in the East TN area.

Find @Derek Tellier 's recent post on his East TN Meet up.  He rotates from Maryville to Knoxville and Seveirville.  I have attended and met some good people who are looking to help.  Might be a good way for you to connect with people.

    @Asia Bacus hey Asia, welcome to BP! I live over in Nashville and also got started by house hacking, which I definitely think is the easiest way to get started. Would be happy to connect sometime if theres anything I can help with. Best of luck, Kyle

    @Asia Bacus Welcome to BP. I'm an hour west of you in Knoxville. I've been in the REI biz for nearly 20yrs so ask away anytime you have questions.

     Awesome, thank you for the info! And that's neat, it's good to connect with someone semi-local. Thank you again for commenting.

    Thanks for the shout out @Ken Dillard

    @Asia Bacus if You ever make your way down to the Greater Knoxville area look me up. 
    My meetups are currently the last Tuesday of the month but I might move them to Thursdays to prevent overlap. Seems everyone hosts meetups on Tuesdays and I like to be different.
