Occasionally I have to give them some guidance on how to be good tenants and neighbors and the expectations I have for my tenants.

To us, we like the benefit of having tenants there so we can have rents to help qualify for the loan for buying the place, and if we occasionally have to deal with a crummy one, that's just part of the business.

Lows range from 71°F to 80°F, with occasional dips into the 40s.

I have one myself that I use mainly as an emergency fund and occasionally to take advantage of an opportunity that pops up.

Hi Amod, there is a great meetup group in Jersey City that links up occasionally you may want to check out.

I am considering buying a property that I would like to use occasionally (6-8 weeks a year) while in Tallahassee but set it up as a STR when I am not in town. 

That way less issues on who's dirty dishes. 

I provide a small pack of dishwasher detergent and a small bottle of dish soap. 

Occasionally, if the deal isn't as good lenders will require you to fund the rehab out of pocket.The problem you'll likely face is getting renters in the storefronts.

You'll see homes go for 300-400k, even new builds, on the side of Williford / Crestmere (on the side of the church), yet the very next street over on N Hollywood you'll get iron fences, 7 car packed driveways, and the occasional stray bullets.Investing in Memphis requires hyperlocal awareness.
