@Jaron Walling I appreciate the response!

Quote from @Lisa Albright: Thanks so much for the response Dominic.

Even if one tenant is responsible for rent payments, the others will live there and impact your liability as a landlord.Accountability:Requiring all adults to apply and sign the lease holds everyone legally responsible for the terms.

Most attention has been directed towards buyers and buyer agency in response to the agreed upon settlement which introduces the possibility of fee shifting depending on whether a cooperating fee is offered.

But, more commonly, they bring in the capital, maybe do a site visit before closing, and ultimately just forward an investor email to the main operator, then forward the response to the investor.  

Some others have had communication problems, but I've always been able to get a same-day response. 

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick Patrick, Thanks so much for the response that is great to know about the different zoning requirements for short-term rental in Nashville.

For example,  providing a heating source for your tenant is your responsibility as the landlord. 

I appreciate everyone’s feed back and responses!

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.
