I like Clarksville, TN because of the strong fundamentals, minimal volatility, and balance of cash flow and appreciation opportunities. 

Hypothetically, if I found a property with strong rental demand, the income could cover loan payments, operating expenses, and generate a modest positive cash flow.While this example involves upfront risks, the idea would be to leverage my father’s expertise as a contractor to minimize renovation costs, boost the property’s value, and create a long-term asset that appreciates over time.

While my budgets are strong, they still require manual adjustments, and I’m looking to automate this process for greater efficiency.My background in technology and AI—along with my experience running a publishing house—has taught me the value of scalable systems.

I work with investors, I am extremely knowledgeable about this market and I have a strong team of vendors.

Your financial position is strong, and leveraging financing for your next rental while maintaining a conservative debt-to-income ratio is a smart approach—consider consulting a lender to explore options that align with your goals and keep your investments sustainable.

@Nick WimmelYou can get decent cash flow and demand for rentals is likely to stay strong in the area given the proximity to major job centers in Cincinnati and Dayton

Then at the last minute, I had a strong instinct to pull out and did not follow through.

because we have a strong demand for them and great str laws.The Triangle is visited year-round by travelling professionals in the research, medical, IT, and education space.

I'll make sure to get out of my comfort zone and build a strong network.

At the end of the day, the backbone of every business is pretty much the same: you need a strong, committed team.
