@Aaron Dominy   Building supply chains have eased considerably in the past 2 months, thus the time-frame to build in Galveston has shortened.

@Nathan Grubb   like this Amazon.com: HG Power 8 Inch Kitchen Exhaust Fan, 576CFM Stainless Steel Bathroom Exhaust Fan, Wall Mounted Garage Ventilation Fan, Basement Extractor Fan with Backdraft Damper for Home Office Commercial Use : Tools & Home ImprovementIt used to be in all the 50/60s homes with a little pull chain to turn it on.

Note* Cypress fencing is no longer available since the Wuhan Flu outbreak.Currently, these scrub trees growing taller exceeding my boundary just feet from the rear of my pool cage.The side neighbor (rental house)  has a large oak tree towering high with branches exceeding  my fence and rapidly reaching for the pool area.

It sounds weird, but a vase filled sticks or small tree branches from around the property might be a nice touch on an empty table or counter. 

You should have a minimum of $15k in reserves for repairs.Your challenge is 1. finding a place at your price point (you might want to branch out to Bayonne, Union City, West New York) and 2. finding a vacant place or one with renters paying market rent.

You may also try to stop by your local Bank of the West branch - better than trying to establish a relationship by phone - to see if they offer investment HELOCs in TN.

No one goes to WalMart and asks for a breakout of their supply chain costs.

Summers are great and spring/fall are awesome for hiking and especially bike riding seeing as we are right on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes which is a 72 mile paved bike path that winds it's way along the lake, through woods and chain lakes.

This places a would-be investor into the same food chain as the hapless tenant who depends on both rent and government subsidies for financial survival.

I've got a great relationship with the owners of a local pizza chain.
