But I really wanted to buy another house, and I was determined to make the cross-country move to Music City.

Maybe it's just a reference to the music industry? 

Meanwhile, I went to a music festival that closed-IN people living in rundown apartment buildings.It was surreal.The city literally had an entire section of town off of Fremont St closed off, and people lived in government houses inside the festival.  

Finding this site and the information it provides has been a breath of fresh air from a lot of the other real estate investing sites I've encountered.I've been a full time dj/music producer for many years now but the music industry is so fickle and constantly changing that I started to realize I needed something a little more dependable and long term which is where REI comes into the picture.  

I'm glad you mentioned the tenant listens to the Grateful Dead because I have insight on how to connect with a tenant with those musical interests.I certainly don't know your dynamic with the tenant, but I'm sure if you asked the tenant what his favorite tour year was, he will open up and tell you and also soften up and be easier to work with.

I just wanted to introduce myself. my name is Michael Vaillancourt, my wife Melody and I are just getting started in this wonderful world of Real Estate!

Here is what I judged the noise level on,Inside if I'm standing outside the closed apartment door and can hear loud music, in the hallway, it's too loud.If I can stand outside the building and hear noise it's to loud.

Eventually I became disenfranchised with advertisers not paying their accounts and I moved into the world of music promotions and touring.

So Cal seems to be a little more immune to market corrections, but since townhouses are usually the first to depreciate before SFRs in a down cycle (from what I hear) I don't want to get caught without a chair when the music stops so to speak, especially if I don't see that this place would be a cash flowing property if I had to hold onto it.

They were also playing loud music and looked as though they were about to throw a party.
