Renting out a detached apartment in Nashville?

[Simon Roper]

I am buying a house in a hot area of Nashville that has a great apartment in the back yard. I want to rent it out to help with the mortgage. Is there anyone (in Nashville) doing this and is it longterm/short-term? What is my best option. I know there can be a lot of red tape with this type of stuff in Nashville and want to do it right. I have even thought about getting creative and offering it to Mixing engineers, I have friends that have had a lot of success with that here in Music City.  Thanks!
