Doug Betty - Founder Emeritus
I began a career in real estate over 30 years ago when I unwittingly bought my first 'investment' property -a one acre lot in Bon Aqua, TN with a mobile home. Who knew it would turn into an obsession for Real Estate? I continue today acquiring properties and building a residential and commercial portfolio.
I have been involved in many aspects of the residential and commercial real estate business, including property management, leasing, land sales, assembling urban parcels, due diligence and investment real estate.
I have never been as excited by the opportunities in the real estate market as I am today. Both passive investors and investors who actually want to do the work such as rehab, management and so on are finding great returns at today's prices.
My specialties are wholesaling real estate, managing real estate, purchasing real estate without banks, self-directed IRA investing, passive real estate investing, & turn key rentals.

Laura Betty - Founder Emeritus
My husband, Doug, and I are long-term buy-and-hold real estate investors, investing in both commercial and residential properties in and around Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee. We truly enjoy our real estate investment business, in part because we learn something new everyday through the many people we meet. Tennessee is a great place to invest, and we're so glad to be here!
