What would you do in my shoes I don’t invest there so take this with a slight grain of salt but I’ve heard multiple stories of basically this exact scenario someone getting offered a big payday for something in Cumberland, rejecting it & always for some reason (house burned down, block got worse, sheetz decided they actually didn’t want someone’s land for a car wash after all) always selling for like 10-20k and regretting not selling. 

Being boots on the ground out here, seeing the state of some of the homes here both on and off the market and knowing the price of housing in the area, I am confident that I could be successful in flipping homes here. 

Quote from @Devin James: We’ve slowly been improving our homes the more we’ve built and the more feedback we get from our Buyers2021 – Added 8ft doors throughout the home2022 – Added a new elevation with stone in the front of the home2023 – NO carpet in the bedrooms, LVP throughout the home2024 – Added hurricane impact windows & new color options2025 – Adding Ceiling FansGotta be open to feedback and adjust accordinglyThis can be the difference of your home sitting on the market for 4 months vs 1 month where's the modifications and pictures?

This one might need a house manager in a few months so some chance to live cheaper in exchange for managing the house. 

Hi David, take as much time as you need to learn the Nashville market.  

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.

The growth of 1.6 million additional residents will require investments in infrastructure, housing and transportation, the organization added.The numbers were provided by the group’s research team with data from the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management and the South Carolina Department of Revenue.

We would buy this house all cash. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

Even in housing.
