Cat odor is far more problematic than a small dog, but I would check landlord references to confirm how they've maintained their last residence.

I lived there for 3 years but relocated to Orlando last year to be closer to family.I think Jacksonville is still good overall, but it’s tough to make rentals pencil right now.

Something that my team and I did last year that really helped maximize our time was re-do our management agreement to set expectations.

As an example, last year we saw markets with 9% rent growth, and some with -5% rent growth -- so there is a large variance and I expect that to continue based mostly on supply dynamics as Scott said.

I can see how Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge has an oversupply (even though SMNP receives the most annual visitors per year of any national park and double that of the #2 NP)… though, from what we’ve watched in the last year and gathered from our realtor in Knox, both Knoxville and Chattanooga homes are still going for over asking price which would indicate an under supply, no? 

@James HamlingHappen to be doing a lot of travel in Europe the last 3 years.

A good friend of mine, managed a similar transaction last year: he merged several single-family homes around Florida and exchanged them for a mid-size apartment complex in Chicago.

Last thing thougt of is have a little box of books and toys for little kids parents always appreciate it. 

The last 1/3 is broken down as we finish up .
