Advice for rental in HPR

Sam Robbins
Posted

Hi,

I’m Sam, a new real estate investor in Nashville - I got my first property this pas year, just south of the airport. It’s an attached HPR, basically a duplex that is zoned as two single family homes. I own one half, 3 bed 3 bath, and I’m currently living in and renovating it with plans to rent down the line. It’s in pretty good shape at this point, rentable.

I travel a lot for work, and a friend gave me the idea to do a short term rental as a one bedroom, locking all of my stuff in the other bedroom and office - I applied today and was denied because I don’t own both sides of my HPR, even though I have written permission from the owner of the other half…. It’s a completely ridiculous and obscure law to me, and definitely ruined my day!

But anyways, I have a stretch where I’ll be gone for several months - mid July through mid October, possibly stretching to the end of the year, and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas beyond just a normal rental - traveling nurse, etc. that might be good in Nashville. It just seems like a good opportunity to try something while I’m traveling so much. Any help is much appreciated - obviously a short term rental would be ideal, but it looks like thats out the question for now. 

Thanks,

Sam
