I wanted to get your take for the Bristol TN area.Thanks in advanceChris Your biggest issue would be having available options after a claim.

Not having them can create issues when selling later.Over-improving for the Neighborhood – Be mindful of your area’s home values so you don’t invest more than you can recoup.Ignoring Structural & Mechanical Issues – While cosmetic updates are fun, addressing foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems first will save headaches down the road.For the best return on investment, focus on:Kitchen & Bathrooms – These are the biggest value-adds for a home.

Have a clause in your lease that landlord is NOT responsible for battery issues - tenant is.

Traveling to other states isn’t an issue for me.
