And if you need some "outside" agency approval, like state road access, wetlands, stream crossing, perk tests, hydrogeological study, from either state or Federal agencies add more time. 

Hello everyone,I’m a Marine Corps veteran looking to make my first foray into the world of Airbnb properties, specifically in Nashville this summer.

Cross reference these with projections from a local propriety manager and/or your own protected daily, occupancy and operational costs. 6.

The outcome is going to be one of the largest homes in the neighborhood with stunning finishes and fingers crossed with parking!

@Cliff ConnorRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Does anyone have any idea if this whole MI debacle can be referred to the FBI since it crosses state lines? 

I wouldn't worry at all anywhere within 2 miles of downtown. you are in the very south of south side area commission but still very strong market. once you cross 104 it's different. 

You'll need to know if your site will gravity feed to sewer, need easements to cross other properties, or will need a pump station or grinder pumps for each home.  

@Nathan FrostThe advantage - some will do 90% and 100% construction but recognize your signing a personal guarantee and will be paying 10-12%+ for interestBenefits of a private lender are speed to close, creativity in cross collateralizing etcThere are a lot of people on BP that think oh private lending is less strict than banks and easier to get.

Just wanting to cross my T's and dot my I's since this will be my first time doing this.Thanks in advanced!
