:-DAnyway...I'm a musician, Berklee College of Music (online...Boston is WAY too cold for me!!)

In Texas, we use mainly Mexican labour to do all the maintenance/remodeling on our properties.

Music and fitness are additional passions of mine.I look forward to contributing and networking with this community.

A few things about me:I live in Nashville, Tennessee, where (as I'm sure you all know) the property market is boomingI am completely new to RE Investing, but I am very interested in multiple types of investing, and real estate is a priorityReal estate has always been around in my life — My mother has been a licensed real estate agent for nearly 20 years, and she now works at a prominent staging company here in Music City.I have some software/programming/web development experience, and graduated a programming bootcamp at the start of this yearI have always been money-minded, and right now I am focused on growing my knowledge of investment in both real estate and the cryptocurrency/stock markets, as well as diversifying my income in general.Feel free to drop a comment and say hi!

Because of amount of people, parties, cars involved, any violation, loud music will red flag to neighbors.

I did the same thing and house-hacked, though we went with a detached in the city because we needed more space for our lifestyle (music studio in our basement).  

Think of it like going to lunch: do you overthink about whether you're going to get Mexican, Thai, a sandwich, Italian?

You would benefit more from a weekend seminar on real estate investing and sales training than 4 years of music appreciation, astrology, and philosophy.

Although - the La Parada mexican restaurant there is excellent!

One was a single woman who was a Music Therapist at the same hospital I worked at; she owned some expensive instruments and frequently left on weekends to attend different festivals; would some take (but not all) of these instruments.I told her fine; she paid for the installation; it was done professionally and she gave me the code in the event that I had to enter for a repair when she wasn't home.Ironically there's never been an issue of any break in in any of the houses where these tenants have put in security systems.They often do forget to shut these off but it's fairly easy to disconnect them after move out.Gail
