:)Best of luck on your move and transition to Music City - You will love it too!

We have the goal of purchasing 20-30 units in the next 10 years, mostly MF, but maybe a few SF.Issue is- we bought the SF that we’re living in now 9 years ago- and we love the house and neighborhood AND I currently run a recording studio/music lesson studio out of the basement.

Years ago I had this neighbor music problem.

@Robert T. when representing tenants the highest I have done is $30/SF for a Mexican QSR on 5 year lease.

We jumped at the idea because we saw this house (with a full basement) as a way to get all her musical instruments, drums included, out of our home!

While neither I, nor those with far deeper economic credentials, can tell you when the train will stop, or whether it will fly off the tracks at tight bend, the further real estate prices diverge from underlaying economic fundamentals the greater the possibility the ride comes to an abrupt stop - even if it later picks up the pieces and gets back on the track.When the music does stop, there will be a lot of folks looking for a place to sit down.

I know I could prob lock up deals myself but as a new parent who works as a full time teacher and I also play live music on the side to help my wife stay home w baby - it's kinda the best I could do for an area thats about 60 miles away etc. it would be tough for me to drive out there myself etc. any advice?

From Time Magazine:  "All that horsepower could be put in the service of emulating whatever it is our brains are doing when they create consciousness — not just doing arithmetic very quickly or composing piano music but also driving cars, writing books, making ethical decisions, appreciating fancy paintings, making witty observations at cocktail parties.If you can swallow that idea, and Kurzweil and a lot of other very smart people can, then all bets are off.

My background is in music, where you're only as good as the people you work with.

In addition to being the political seat of the state, it is a major cultural and music hub – it’s also knows as “The Live Music Capital of the World” and hosts the annual SXSW (South by Southwest music festival) – one of the largest music festivals in the U.S. – which brought over $220 M into the city in 2013,[1] and has an economic impact that far exceeds the festival’s 14 day length.
