My wheelehouse is long term management of investment properties, but I do have a good relationship with a loca Chattanooga broker who helps investors in the area.

I’ve found that consistency and authenticity not only build long-term relationships but also open doors for lead generation.

:)General question here: I invest in long term rentals in Memphis, but I live out-of-state in NYC, so I was wondering if anyone had any general advice about starting an LLC in my situation.Would you form the LLC in Tennessee or would you recommend forming the LLC elsewhere?

Use the HELOC on cash-generating opportunities like flips, then use the cash generated to buy long-term buy and hold investments. 

For instance, properties with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the lot that can be implemented as a long-term or short-term rental can perform exceptionally well.

Considerations for Long-Term Tax Strategy: If your long-term STR status is uncertain, weigh the benefits of bonus depreciation against the potential downsides of depreciation recapture and passive loss limitations.

Property values here have a steady history of growth, making it a reliable market for long-term investment.2.Tenant-Friendly Laws: While this might seem like a challenge for landlords, tenant-friendly laws create a stable rental market.

I have them tell me how long a project will take to complete, and then I add buffer days or maybe up to 2 weeks, depending on how long / complex of a project it is and potentially accounting for weather if it is outside work.

I'm passionate about creating secure, long-term housing solutions that balance tenant stability with strong returns.

very sorry to hear that. a lot of "professional" unfortunately only look at you as a number and not a long term relationship. you should be able to put a complaint against home inspector to hopefully recover some damage they missed
