However this is not happening so much in Nashville as it is still incredibly expensive and desireable. 

First off, I live here and love it here- but for more of the numbers / data side of things, the average duplex price is $200k (in more desirable areas you are looking at $300k - $450k), super consistent and steady appreciation (right around 8% YoY for the last 4 years), 2nd strongest renters market in the US this year after Miami, 3rd most duplexes of any city after New York & Chicago... the list goes on 

they will be worth their weight in gold

Looking at Redfin's data, it is appreciating over time (probably more than $15,600/year), but probably not as fast as other highly desirable neighborhoods in the Bay.I previously lived in this home before I moved and converted it into a rental property.

Expect to find less desirable properties, deferred maintenance, low curb appeal, maybe even damage that needs to be repaired.

My husband and are under contract on a great 2 flat with illegal basement unit off of Logan Blvd in a desirable location in Logan Square with a lot of rental demand.

Hi everyone! A prospective tenant asked me if I'm OK with TRA. It was the first time I heard of this  program. The lady said it's like Section 8 but for a limited term of one year. Did anyone deal with this program? S...

After years of looking, we finally moved to a bigger house in the same older and desireable neighborhood but with a much bigger loan and interest rate.

I have no desire building out the platform for a couple days just to see if im happy with the reporting/functionality.  

Like I said in another response to this thread a really good TC will have a hand full of top producer be worth their weight in gold and make a VERY nice living for an in home job that comes to you with little to no over head..
