If your house is old, value is low. 

In davidson county most people book an STR to be close to downtown or at least close to somewhere cool as a secondary priority (like 5 points or 12 south for example).If you have an STR in white house it's going to need to make up for location.

Or explore a 40B lottery condo purchase and look into house-hacking.

I’d lean Stessa assuming you’re not house hacking. 

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

Hello all,I just closed on my primary residence with an FHA loan so I am not able to house hack since I am obligated to live in the residence for a year.

I understand that of course that would bring higher paying jobs but how does that drive the housing prices up.

There is a house near mine that is abandoned.

What would be a good actionable for you now is to visit open houses in areas you think you like and starting talking with Listing Agents at those homes.

Ignore seller finance for a second...Can you buy a house, put 20% down...yes.
