I know for sure that in my area of Texas (well outside of major metro areas), we've seen the cost to build new homes almost double in price. 

I think you're doing quite well given the location. 

When it's a well established company like Apple, they aren't likely to be going out of business so there is some certainty that there will be in increase in demand for quite some time.

We compromised on the desing as well as the tenant. 

We added value by investing $45,000 in well-planned renovations, modernizing key areas, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring market-ready quality.

There's lots of properties for sale in the Smoky mountains so you may also have a larger selection of options to purchase as well.

My education background is in computer science, mathematics and some corporate finance, as well as have some internship experience in the quantitative finance space.

hi all,I'm a rookie investor, have a couple of properties that cash flow well.

They usually sell for a really attractive price because investment property financing is (obviously) difficult, somewhat limiting the buyer pool to owner-operator small business owners (who in turn are typically great clients, as well).  

If you're planning on only living there 1-2 years, rent may not change THAT much, so calculate what the rent would likely be right now for your side as well. 4.
