SFR or MFR in Sylvan Park area of Nashville, TN

[Nick W.]

I have been searching for something in the Sylvan Park area that is either move-in ready or something that needs TLC.  Everything I have found on the web is absurdly priced. Anyone have any recommendations on a way to find a bargain?  I want to be close to the green way.  If lot size permits I would plan on building a rentable mother-in-law suite at the back of the property.  

I am a veteran who is eligible for VA loans although I have never used one and have been told to be wary.

All suggestions are welcome.  Thanks BP users!
