A theme I’m noticing is the assessed value of the home can be anything from 40-75% of the listing price, and as the result of a fixed 0.0048 mill rate it can cause a huge swing in Property taxes which often switches a good deal to a bad deal.

I have a "ba-duh-dum/ba-duh-dum" theme playing in my head.

I oversaw events, weddings, Corp meetings, holiday parties, ect.

FYI we are having our first local BP meeting on Wed Sept 28th at 6:30 PM.

I may be with my 11 year-old son, he loves the Shark Tank show and that's the theme of Thursday's meeting.

I am definitely picking up some common themes, mistakes, success factors, etc. and am trying to learn as much as possible

side, For STR, I would personally look around the university (MTSU) area (graduations, games, weddings, etc), or the Medical Center Pkwy area (transportation to Nashville, corporate Nissan/Amazon, medical personnel.
