Newport is very different than the Windy City that’s for sure. I like the quiet of where I live but not liking the 45 minute drive I need to make to get to shopping.

We are neighbors and wouldn’t mind meeting up with you one day to share some ideas. Message me your info

House looks gorgeous , great job. At least you got the first flip under your belt. Its a learning lesson. 

Truthfully the reason I have opted to diving into Wholesale Realty is because like many here , I DON’T HAVE MONEY and or the perfect credit score to buy properties.

But after talking to an investor that has been doing this for 28+ years , he brought to my attention that wholesale is illegal. I did some research and it makes sense to a certain extent to me. So now am a bit concerned knowing this moving forward. I am going to do more research on this on the laws of the state of Tennessee where I reside , but , wanted everyone else’s opinions on this.

@Emily Smith

You described your fiancée and he reminded me of myself. I was that same person , comfortable with what I had and was okay with it. Not knowing that I am capable of being greater than my own expectations.

My fiancée saw that and basically in PG terms , asked me to leave , that it was over for good. Many lonesome nights living back at home with my parents at the old age of 38 in my old bedroom where I grew up , and many prayers did I realize that I failed my family and myself. Long story short , I never gave up on her and myself and by the grace of God. I was given a second chance.

Life’s still not perfect and it’s not always going to be , but , it took that time away for me to realize things on my own. Not encouraging you to do anything that you are hesitant to do , but , follow your heart and do what’s right for you. If it was meant to be it will be. If not at least it teaches him a hard life lesson and maybe just maybe he can better himself after it’s all said and done. Good luck and God Bless

Hello everyone glad to be part of Bigger Pockets and hopefully one day will too have a bigger pocket.....LOL

I lived 38 years of my life in the Windy City of Chicago and finally built up the courage to pack it all up and move to East Tennessee Knoxville area , actually a small town called Newport but no ones really heard of Newport so I always just say East Tennessee.

Anyways , with the move to Tennessee I figured it was also time to find a new career and make use of the many years of experience in the customer service industry and since I am a huge people person I opted to get into real estate , right now wholesale real estate and then transition into flipping homes.

Hoping to learn more from everyone here , would like to make connections with locals and other abroad.  Thank you all for welcoming me and God Bless
