I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

ONe flip I financed for them in Winter Park CO. my client made 120 k on it in 45 days with NONE of their own money I funded 100% which is what I do for my very good established clients. 4.

Let me know if you plan to make it so I can let the owner know and he can make sure they are properly prepared.

That is something that is growing due to the limitations of STR.MTR is something that will help you but you will have to be a bit flexible in the times that you are planning to come in.Management is cheaper than STR, but you have to consider other factors such as close to places where those MTR are in need.

If you don’t plan to sell the lots w/mobile homes is there a reason you have to split the lot?

We’ve just finished our 2025 planning meetings for our six largest projects, and it’s been an interesting process. 

With the current mortgage rate constraints affecting how many buyers are willing to enter the market we are seeing a lot of borrowers have success with the BRRRR strategy with plans to sell in the next 3-5 years when interest rates go down.Researching potential LTR and STR rental amounts and seeing if holding for a few years is a viable option is a good analysis to do well. 

During the partnership, you can jointly manage the property, increase its value, negotiate a flexible repayment plan with the seller that allows for larger payments after the property appreciates, ensure a written agreement that clearly specifies repayment terms and timeframes and refinance, and the sellers are able to 1031 at their leisure? 

So, I'd like to get ahead of the game and start working up a plan and a strong argument for it which I can use when the time comes. 

We have talked about parking availabilty in another thread, and it is an often overlooked amenity whose lack can torpedo an MTR's success.
