I suggest you connect with @Mason Jeffries, he's my go-to lender in Nashville and is outstanding. 

Joe Pleva works in my office over at Keller Williams - East Brainerd and he's outstanding. I'll message you his info!

Hey Sandy!

I'd say 10% is the industry standard here in Chattanooga. I know a lot of PMs here will give you a discount if you have a full portfolio with them, I've seen some go down as far as 8%. The different fees and such vary so much between PMs, it's tough to be able to say for sure what fees will and will not be included in there. So I'd make sure to get everything in writing with whatever PMs you speak with / interview so you can make sure you're getting the full picture. 

Blake England with Adobe Property Management is outstanding, and my go-to PM here in town. I'll message you his info :) Best of luck!!

Hey Zane! I'm a little late on this but think I have a great fit for you for a PM company here. Smaller PM company that's very on top of things and that also do some contracting projects, so small handyman things would be a breeze for them. I'll shoot you a message!

First of all, welcome to BP!! So many good markets to choose from, which is why Tennessee is such a great place to invest! So I'm admittedly biased here as an active investor and realtor in Chatt, but I really do think Chattanooga still has so much room to grow. We are seeing more and more people move here from big cities in California and New York, and while there are some that are coming here to retire, it's been a ton of young professionals as more businesses and developments continue to open here. It's also uniquely convenient being situated close to both Atlanta and Nashville, which is another huge draw. Chatt was also on Forbes Top 10 places to visit in 2023, which is a cool little flex, and a lot of times I've noticed that people who visit here end up falling in love with the city and moving here shortly after. 

Again, I really don't think there's a wrong answer on this list, because I know people are moving to other TN markets too, but I feel like Chattanooga is one of those cities that's a diamond in the rough and hasn't reached the stage of being overgrown, like a lot of Nashville locals feel has happened to Nashville.

First of all, great choice investing in TN! More than a few good markets here to choose from. I'm in Chattanooga, and have an excellent referral partner in Nashville, so really just depends what market you're most interested in! Feel free to send me details of what your looking for! :)

Check out Nate Byram with Guaranteed Rate - I've had clients get very competitive rates from him and I've always had investor clients have great experiences with him.

Welcome to real estate!! You're definitely in the right place if you're trying to learn all you can about the different strategies of real estate, BP is quite the resource. The freedom aspect of what real estate investing can provide is definitely what drew me in, and I'm always amazed at just how many different ways there are to be successful in this industry. Good luck!!

Wow, love your story! Welcome to BiggerPockets and the world of Investing!! I'm sure you'll do great, you sound like quite the go-getter. Do you know what part of Tennessee you're most interested in?

 Thank you so much Brian! @Zac Lahrman Would love to help any way I can, I'll send you a message!
