Looking for advice for rental investment in Chattanooga, TN

[Yinglu Wang]

Hello! Hope everyone is staying healthy and sane.

I am exploring Chattanooga and want to find a good cash flow rental property (buy & hold) in this market. I am trying to find more information on the specific regions to invest in. I've heard great stuff about East Ridge, Hixson, and Red Bank, and I have found some properties that I am personally interested in in East Ridge, but the crime rate in the zip codes associated with these regions seems really high. I know there probably are some nuances in the neighborhood, so I am looking for tips from people who are more familiar with the area!

Any insight will be very much appreciated!
