Welcome to BP. Excited to hear more about your success story! 

My pleasure!! 

@Jessica Privitera

Born and raised here for 32 years. I love the culture here. One of a kind, truly. 

I live in a smaller suburb inside Memphis called Bartlett; It has a great community and amazing schools. Very affordable housing. 

We are frequent Nashville visitors. We have passes to Nashville shores for the summertime. We love the atmosphere up there. Luogo and Halls Chophouse are our favorite spots when in town! If you havent already, you should try them out!

Welcome in, Neighbor! 

I am in the Memphis, TN market, so we aren't far apart. 

Sounds like you and your future husband have a solid success plan in place. 

If you are ever in the Memphis area, reach out and we can get some lunch. 

Good luck to you guys!

The way you spoke so highly of your success embodies what investing is all about.

The more I research investors who are successfully investing outside the country, the more I feel inclined to shift my goals toward international real estate investments rather than focusing solely on opportunities within the U.S.

I will most certainly keep you in mind once I am ready to expand my portfolio!

Hi Angelo, Welcome to BP! 

Do you have your own portfolio? What type of investment properties do you mainly look at? 

@Bion General

Welcome to BP! You’re in an ideal market for growth—DFW is full of active investors and countless networking opportunities through local meetups. Wishing you great success on your journey!

Welcome in! 

I haven’t personally heard of anyone going the SB1079 route, but I have done some research on it. From what I’ve gathered, it’s crucial to connect with local agents and attorneys since they often learn about foreclosures before they even hit public records.

It also helps to keep an eye out while driving—homes that appear neglected or have been vacant for a long time often signal a pending foreclosure.

If you're considering this strategy, be ready to move quickly. Having your financing lined up is essential because many properties receive institutional bids. If a large investment company wins an auction, SB1079 typically gives you the chance to step in and match the bid within 40+ days.

Check your local treasurer and tax collector’s websites—they usually list upcoming online and in-person foreclosure auctions.

Hope this helps!

You are in the right place to grow and network with other investors. 

Wishing you the best.

Welcome to the community, John!

Congratulations on your first success story! I’ve seen several investors start out with house hacking in a similar situation. One investor I know had a Section 8 tenant initially but chose not to renew the lease in order to bring in a more qualified tenant and increase the rent.

You’re in the right place to connect with like-minded investors who have walked a similar path. I’m excited to check back in a year and see how far you’ve come. Wishing you continued success!
