I'm not going to say "you are not accepted because you smoke cigarettes".

It's pretty much college housing in an older building in the best rental and one of the most affluent areas in Nashville.I think what Matt is saying in terms of concern is anyone advertising a 9 - 10 cap is probably blowing smoke.

Damaged or missing smoke detectors, CO detectors, or extinguishers6.

I’m an OOS investor and the realtor was good on the first go and this time around she won’t return calls or text it’s like she just went dark.

Verifying if smoke detectors are functioning, appliances are running and water pipes are not leaking is a plus.

Of course these are shooting in the dark unless there is a direct need for that industry in the area.

The next day all communication went dark before I was able to schedule a time to meet or give them an offer.

and fear no darkness!
