For me personally, I can't get the STR numbers to work.

It's always nice to get a personal referral. 

I’d appreciate any insights, lessons learned, or recommendations from those who have gone through this process.

Closed with no issues, inherited great tenants and have really enjoyed living in this neighborhood Lessons learned?

I personally believe his contract job contract got cancelled as i know others from his company left that same week. 

What are the rules for removing this person, as I understand it he falls under hotel rules, not the landlord tenant act.

I’d recommend checking local investor groups or networking with other landlords in Memphis to get recommendations for more competitive options.One company I’d personally recommend looking into is RiverTown Realty.

the only thing with that is protecting future landlords.. but then again thats a personal choice..  

I borrowed $30k on a personal loan from Discover for 15% with no fees for a plot of land and paid "cash" for it.

Although the journey has been worth it, I've sacrificed quite a bit from a personal lifestyle perspective, relationships, etc.
