That’s what I’m talking about.. having people on the ground who know their turf and can spot trouble before it smacks you in the face.From what I’ve heard, outfits like Northwest Preferred Property Management or Umbrella Properties in Eugene aren’t just running the numbers.. they’ve seen the weird mid-season repairs and the tenant personalities you’ll never read about in a textbook.

So, it's the season of Advent with Christmas around the corner.

This is why seasoned investors run a "stress test" when evaluating their investments.

This setup helps you stay organized, prepared for tax season, and ready for unexpected expenses.

I read it in April/May of '23 after the tax season and I swear if I ever meet Tom I am going to give him a big ole Kiss!!!!

Johnson City could be a great spot for STRs, especially if you focus on hospital staff rotations, visiting professors, or traveling professionals, which would balance out any seasonal dips in tourism.For STRs, consider targeting weekend travelers exploring the Appalachian Trail, Boone Lake, or local festivals.

I am both a long time Memphian and investor here in the city, I am able to help investors (both seasoned and new) find properties that are best for their portfolios.
