Quote from @Jaycee Greene: I am currently saving so the lower the better just for my time being Quote from @Ella Marie: Hello I'm new here and I am more than excited to get started in the real estate business.

If you are in tech, I feel like Raleigh-Durham has better opportunities than Charlotte though.

When you start raising money, the kinds of investors you're going to get are individuals who want to make a better return than the stock market. 

That doesn't seem right about having to chase your money - but would need a lot more info to provide a better opinion. also are you investing in one property and is your name secured or you giving an unsecured loan? 

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity. 

Your best option is to terminate the current manager and switch to one with better processes and communication.

Private money may be better. 

So, all that time and money and really you are not better off than if you took DIY possession.

In my STRs the bigger the better as far as bedrooms are concerned.

We are also wondering whether it would be better to try and find something located closer to Nashville within 5-15 minutes that may not be as nice of a home or property for our budget or find something that is around 20-30 minutes from Nashville in the White House Tn area, but a nicer home within our budget.
