Hello!

My wife and I just moved to the Knoxville, TN area this year and are looking to start our investing journey here in our own backyard before venturing out to other markets - looking to buy our first investment house this year (single family residence or small multi-family). We came across BiggerPockets a few weeks ago after reading a couple of real estate investment books and are excited to learn! 

What tips do you all have for someone just starting out in a brand-new area they aren't familiar with yet (new market, new climate, new job, new neighborhood & culture)?  The first steps for this journey seem to be the hardest (getting the flywheel going) but we're starting to get a feel for the potential freedom ahead for our family and are excited about the possibilities!
