As noted above, up to 50% of gross rental income normally gets eaten up by expenses (taxes, management fees, utilities, landscaping, repairs, capex, etc).

Normally just rice, beans and tortillas.  

Then we review the submitted file items and come back with questions or ask for additional documents it is a normal process.

100% occupancy for a LTR is normal.

Normally “Developing” gets a higher returnthan Buy/Hold due to the Occupancy risk.

I would just cap it generously to only catch abusers and figure the normal running costs in your rent. 

You did things outside of the normal without proper knowledge.

The clear solution is to simply follow the eviction proceedings as you normally would.Here is one legal sensitivity you need to be aware of. 

But anyways, I have a stretch where I’ll be gone for several months - mid July through mid October, possibly stretching to the end of the year, and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas beyond just a normal rental - traveling nurse, etc. that might be good in Nashville. 

It normally takes 5+ years of rent increases before you feel like you are doing ok.
