Blake,

You can access the local MLS without an agent login for the most up to date listings; I always recommend this over Zillow, Trulia, FB, etc. Those platforms should be secondary for searching because they are picked over because of their easy access to all. The local MLS is called RealTracs and you can access it here: https://www.realtracs.com/

To search for available rentals, simply search for your area (Davidson Co for example), and filter rentals only --- see picture below:

Message me if you need any more assistance searching, I'm glad to help you figure it out. I don't help clients find rentals, but I'm still a renter myself so I am well aware of this process.

What regions are you looking at specifically?

I followed up with you in a direct message.

@Mera Daniells TN is a great state for buy and holds! Do you currently have a portfolio in Utah or California with your partner or would this be your first property? Clarksville, Spring Hill, Lebanon, Dickson, Columbia, and Gallatin are smaller cities/suburbs you should also consider outside of Nashville for buy and holds. I followed up with you in a direct message!

David, very exciting, however --- Joe, I couldn't agree more!

Pauline,

Congratulations! I've been living in Clarksville (moved up from Metro Nashville) since August and I love it. It's a great market for buy & holds/rentals/BRRRR investing. What is your range for MFH investing specifically?

Make sure you check out STR permits in your area because the Nashville market is restricting usage and permit access all the time. Just do your due diligence! I think you can go either way with renting extra bedrooms out or Airbnb/VRBO and make out just fine. Depends on what you're comfortable with. I've had friends be successful at house-hacking with both.

Here's Franklin's STR permit info: https://www.franklintn.gov/gov...

I recommend Concord Title in Franklin, TN

@Sheng Yang What regions are you focusing on? Are you interested in flips or buy-and-hold for rentals/appreciation?

@Billy Reed Meetup.com and Facebook are great resources as well! Most in person meetups and events haven’t started back up yet, but they’ll be back when it’s safe to do so.

@Nate Smith What are you looking to do specifically? Are you only looking to buy and hold for rentals and appreciation or are you also open to flips?
