Something local, anything unique, and Instagramable walls! 

Somebody said 30 days and everyone followed suit.I was a the Dr last week and the Nurse said Charley Horse.I asked if that was a medical term, which it isn't. 

You might want to speak to a real estate tax pro about both of your unique situations tax wise, and the possibility of having a multi-member LLC set up for you.

(eg Travel medical, post grad, insurance relocation, other random etc)?

We here at Aslan have over 70 investors, so we can definitely get creative and look for programs that are applicable to your unique situation.

What seems to unique to the area (at least on a large scale) is electrical theft.You should also know about "Electrical Theft" in the Big D.Renters get electric shut off and pay someone to make an illegal hookup.Using fish hooks or other unsafe methods, WXYZ Reports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Prices might definitely correct themselves over time across the country, but I don't see any projections of them going down 30-40% anytime soon and all the projections I've seen, prices are going up.But with rents being so high, and prices still relatively low, compared to a lot of other markets in the country, my experience in this market doesn't lead me at all to believe the bottom will fall out anytime soon.If you've been in Northeast Ohio over the last 5 years you can see for yourself how much they've built up the downtown and University Circle area and literally have poured billions of dollars into it's medical infrastructure, which is one of the best in the world, creating thousands of high paying jobs and people willing to pay high rental prices.But I do agree with Nathan that it's all about having the right team and property management to be successful in this market. 

Pretty cool and unique story!

I am doing my own due diligence but would appreciate advice from others in the local area given all the new supply that has come on recently and still to come in the Nashville metro area.My understanding is that this submarket is not that affluent but there is a lot of development going on, is right “in the path of progress” and would offer an experience for Class A renters that is unique from all the downtown development.

Section 8 rentals are a huge opportunity in the area, and medical students/employees at the nearby hospitals are a great pool of potential tenants as well.
