Also, do not rely on the rapid increases resulting from COVID; these increases are not sustainable.

@Timothy Burnes Don't do it. 10-20k in equity is not worth all those issues.Bed bugs are a significant defect that can take either $5000 and tenting the whole building for heat treatment, which requires vacating the tenants or getting them hotel rooms for a few nights, or a sustained program of prevention with bed risers, leg traps, sealed mattress bags, and the tenants need to keep it up for.. get ready for it.. 6 months, which is how long they can live without a meal.Sewage in the basement could be a big issue if you have a sewer backup problem.The sinking toilet sounds like it needs immediate attention, but at least that's a straightforward repair.The other issues are what I would consider "normal" as in, you could fix them but don't need to in order to make the place liveable.Based on the bed bugs alone I would avoid... if you are comfortable with this level of rehab you should be getting a way better deal. 

I understand that there is a "green tax" since its not common practice but I want to try and make the shift on one or two homes to see if it can be sustained on small scale projects.

Once the interest rates go up, how is this sustainable for disposition? 

After serving 20+ years in the military, this really resonates with me. 

I just like to hear other people experiences on how they got started and sustained their business. 

I think the biggest benefits of being an agent would be having the control to move extremely quickly if you're on top of your ish, and then obviously saving on the commissions.Your last paragraph resonates with me as someone who got their license recently.

Does anyone have any experience with this area and do you think that we would be able to sustain a 60% occupancy in the off season?  

I understand the factors driving it are different that the last Phoenix bubble, but are these prices sustainable over the long haul? 

When an area becomes a sustainable, high growth market like Nashville, returns become increasingly residual.
