New to Out of State Investing and Looking to build a team

[Czar Wiley]

Good morning to all,

I am new to out of state investing and looking for a mentor or someone I can speak to about out of state investing. I narrowed my search and buy box to Knoxville, Tennessee. If anyone is already established there and could point me in the right direction of any RE agents and PM would be great or just to talk and get the ins/outs or the area and narrow it down to a certain community in Knoxville. Any help would be great. Thank you and have a great day

Hi @Czar Wiley

Welcome to out-of-state investing — that’s such an exciting step! I've heard that Knoxville is a great market, but if you’re open to exploring a bit more of Tennessee, you might also want to take a look at Memphis. It’s really popular with out-of-state investors because of the lower entry prices, strong rental demand, and great cash-flow potential.

I’m an agent on Dean’s team with CrestCore Realty here in Memphis, and we specialize in helping investors build local teams (property management, contractors, lenders, etc.) so they can scale confidently from a distance.

If you ever want to chat or compare numbers between Knoxville and Memphis, I’d be happy to share what we’re seeing on the ground here!

Best of luck!
