If you spend time learning how to manage well, your income will increase, you'll save time, and you'll maintain your sanity with the courage to expand.

Hi @Brendan Jones I moved to Nashville in late 2021 to begin my homeownership and investing career, buying a primary residence, house-hacking it, and transitioning to a long-term rental once I bought my next property (also in Nashville) so would be happy to share my experiences.There is a lot of interest in STRs in the Nashville Metro area, but the zoning has become increasingly strict over the years.

However, note that claiming additional depreciation will increase, not decrease, depreciation recapture tax (up to 25%) when you sell.Key Considerations (Updated for 2025):1.

Death Rate: The death rate has been gradually increasing.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

Would your existing tenants stomach that much of an increase?

With the increasing number of lawsuits and penalties for TCPA violations, I'd like to cover my backside and remain compliant.How do you scrub your lists to ensure you’re not contacting people on the Do Not Call list?

In some homes planting the front or placing pots could increase the curb appeal, in others it could be paint or furniture etc.

But if you put in the effort, Detroit can be incredibly rewarding.Over the last several years, the city has been on a steady upswing: population growth, major corporate investments, and increasing demand for housing are all positive indicators.

As long  the tenants pay the rent each month, increasing their rent will be very tough and getting them to leave will be extremely tough.
