Hey everyone, my name is Chris Burcham. I'm new to the real estate world and I'm looking to land my first deal in 2025. I live in Owensboro, KY and would like to invest locally. My initial goal is to purchase a fix and flip to gain capital for my first long term rental. I'm also interested in spec home construction. I'm an electrician by trade and I'm happy to answer questions or give suggestions for any electrical issues you may have. Thanks for reading and I look forward to connecting with you.

Hi everyone,

My name is Joe. I'm new to real estate investing, and I am eager to learn and jump in quickly. I'm open to different strategies, but at the moment, I am looking for single family homes in Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina. I live in NY, and I am looking to invest out of state in short term rentals. I work in tech, so any strategies for streamlining or automating the research and investing process is music to my ears. Looking forward to meeting and speaking with everyone.

I have owned a park for a few years and when I bought it there were 5 trailers that did not have a title.  I have located the VIN numbers for each trailer and now I am looking for advice on how to get titles to these trailers.  The previous owner claims they never had the titles to these trailers, so that is not option.  My assumption is that these trailers never had a title. The park is located in the state of Kentucky.  

Any help or advice would be appreciated.  Thank you

I am still in the initial stages of my research, but Owensboro made into the list while choosing candidates based on cities with diverse economy with significant industries for an LTR. However, I also understand that lower housing cost may saturate the rental market. 

While trying to understand your thoughts on this, why did you think out of state investors would not consider it?

Yeah, I started off around Reno,NV & Tempe, AZ, but I think the median prices look way higher, so I am beginning to look and research around the areas of Fort Smith, AK,  Cleveland, TN and Ownsboroo, KY

Hello,
I am moving from California to Kentucky for work possibly before March. I was wondering if anyone knows which areas/cities are best to buy a house. I am thinking a 2-3 bedrooms and minimum 2 bathrooms. My work is located in Louisville, Kentucky but I don't mind driving 20-30 or a little more. Budget wise I would like to stay below $220,000 for the house. 

Any expertise/advice from anyone would be great! :)

Hello, 

I am fairly new to this idea and have wanted to invest in a STR. I travel to the RRG often for outdoor activities I enjoy. I am interested in purchasing a cabin that I can use but also rent out. I would love for it to cash flow. The cabin I am currently looking at is a two bedroom (one room is a loft) with one bath. It is located in a recreational community so other cabins are around it. The cabin was built in 2021. The mortgage would prob fall around 1600-2000 range. I have researched the Airbnb avenue in terms of what's required, etc. The cabin sits within a 15-20 minute drive of most popular activities that RRG has to offer. My question is what is the market like down there for successful rentals? Cash flow possibilities? Thanks!

@James Wilcox I'm in Hopkinsville, KY. Southwestern KY about a hour away from Nashville. Are you located in KY?

Nice deal. How's the cashflow going so far? Lexington, KY certainly an underrated STR market.

Hello James. I believe my price is fair with the comps in the area. Yes, I’m using TheGuarantors platform for long term and Waivo for midterm and short term tenants instead of a traditional deposit.
