There's no stopping the development train though.Of course, just like the dot.com bubble burst in 1999 but we still have the internet today.

I'd like to get some first person experience on this rather than what I find out on the internet that can be outdated. 

I have made some great friendships and contacts through Bigger Pockets and the best part is that the cost is so minimal compared to the myriad of get rich quick internet guru packages, one can't go wrong here. 

Anything I should know about Tennessee that the internet isn't telling me?

Quite honestly, I have RSVPd to a few in person meet outs and have gotten too intimidated to making the 40+ min drive after work to meet strangers on the internet lol.

The challenge in the investing world is that so many people get stuck in trying to get deals and now with the internet, the people that have their homes really know a good estimate on what John down the street got for their home.

For example you can prompt "Build an App that will allow my tenants to pay online via Credit Card or ACH"With AI, it's like having a full-time programmer building custom systems for you, on-demand, for about $50/month.Hope this helpsGeorge

So lesson #1 is do not trust the results of Zillow's screening and do some homework yourself as the Internet is a powerful tool in itself.So they move in in July and miss August's rent but his wife promises to be paid up including September by September 1st. 

For example internet is $80/month for the entire place.

I'm incredibly grateful for all of the kind and helpful people on the internet that have helped me so far.
