But opening up vetted Coach programs would supply a lot more bandwidth to the REI community.  

Columbus has been pretty solid for investors - we're seeing steady growth without the crazy peaks and valleys of bigger markets.

@Shayan Sameer,The really brief answer is that most of TN is pretty affordable apart from Nashville, which is an expensive, supply-constrained metro.The median home price in Chattanooga, for example, is about $300,000, which is a little above your $200,000 budget.

I took the next 5 months to tackle everything myself spending approximately 17k in supplies and tools + paying a plumber and roofer 4k total to fix those issues.

Oddly, Vrbo bookings nearly dried up and I get a steady stream of Airbnb leads despite the higher rate I set there.Unfortunately, by giving Vrbo a three-month exclusive head start, I missed revenue that could have been earned by listing on multiple OTAs from the onset.
