The timeline on that appeared to be potentially lengthy and costly. 

This was a relatively stupid professional tenant, thankfully, as the idiot has appeared under two different names in front of the local district magistrate over the years.

@William VreelandKnoxville Pros: With family nearby in Nashville, you may have a solid support system in Tennessee, which could make managing properties easier, especially if you're new to the market.

The 500-hour rule means spending at least 500 hours actively managing your rental property, which could include things like tenant communication, maintenance, and bookkeeping.You can also group multiple properties together as one “activity” to make reaching the hours easier.

Airbnb will be easier to process the guest--- they just book and pay.

However it appears you have no value add and are not purchasing below retail.  

I've found some turnkey SFRs with market rents that appear to be more than enough to service all expenses, based on the finance amount.

It's a lot easier living with my loving family and when my lunch and dinner are already cooked lol.

I find commercial properties easier and more fun to manage than residential ones.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.
