@Kyle LipkoRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

In davidson county most people book an STR to be close to downtown or at least close to somewhere cool as a secondary priority (like 5 points or 12 south for example).If you have an STR in white house it's going to need to make up for location.

Here are some key elements to include:Lease Agreements: Ensure your contracts reflect the latest laws, such as notice periods for entry or rules around security deposits.Fair Housing Compliance: Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local fair housing laws to avoid discriminatory practices.Property Standards: Regularly inspect your properties to ensure they meet safety and habitability standards.Tax Documentation: Keep accurate records to comply with tax reporting requirements.4.

I spent months, no, years, reading books, buying No Money Down cassettes, (Carleton Sheets, anyone?)
