Proximity to Nashville is key—properties within 5-15 minutes of the city tend to attract more guests, but a nicer home 20-30 minutes away could provide more value in the long run.Make sure to research short-term rental rates in both areas to determine which offers the best return.

I don't think that makes sense, because the space certainly adds value, in my experience.But this does tend to vary from location to location.

Do you factor them into your neighborhood selections or do these projects tend to fizzle out in Philly?

I have a few rentals with section 8 tenants, and they tend to stay on average 4-5 years.

I tend to agree that we could be over leveraging ourselves and your comments are a good reality check but I did not paint the whole picture. 

Rates tend to be 25 to 50 basis points above commercial (5+ unit) apartment building loans, and 50-100 basis points above residential (1-4 unit) loans.

But I tend toward more Class C than B.   

However, most tend to get very watered down with sales pitches etc.  

I’d try my best to be outside the beltway in Baltimore county, generally the nicer areas, I tend to especially like Towson, lutherville, even parkville is a good value. 

We pulled every trick in the book, and the odor remains.Another issue is that when tenants violate one rule, they tend to violate more.
