Hello everyone,I’m in the process of replacing the backyard fence at one of my properties in Memphis, TN, and I’m considering upgrading from the current dog ear style to a more modern horizontal cedar wood fence.

@Arron Paulino  I've posted on this many times over the last year and my advice normally falls on deaf ears. 

The biggest thing that will limit your ability to buy multiple houses a year is that thing between your ears.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @Melanie Baldridge & @Nathan Gesner Your sensible advice will fall on deaf ears as its already been drowned out by those who share  the ease in which  success is earned through real estate.

But if there is a way to start out slowly with a smaller amount of funds, I’m all ears.

That 6 ft privacy fence is a good start, but you could also include separate entrances, designated parking spaces, and clear instructions about shared spaces (if any).Noise Policies: Include quiet hours in the STR house rules (e.g., after 10 PM).

Then a wise man who was already successful doing what I wanted to be doing shared some common sense that I took to heart: settle on ONE strategy to get started and block out all the other noise, the BS, and the well intentioned but misinformed friends and relatives telling you that you can’t do this.

Howerver, I have resrvations about how this will impact the community's living standards as the development will immediately border some neighborhoods and could bring unwanted environmental impacts and noise. 

Know your numbers, strategy, and block out the noise. 

After a couple ears, buy another property and rent out your space in the first property.
