I firmly believe this rocket ship has a ways to go still. 

but first,  seek for mentors who are not promoting their mentor ship program, who are trying to make money and may not care about your well-being.

Www.goedekers.comGreat deals / no tax / free shipping. 

It isn't in the "best" area, but is a 60 second drive from shipping centers, etc.

If the lots already exist in a community it does not matter what size they are as long as the town ship approves them.

That gets old quick.I would explore TIC with % listed and  a JV agreement that outlines the excellent post of @Jerry W that describes the potential pitfalls of the ship that often won't sail, I mean partnership.

These are the covenants, conditions and restrictions which run with the land and are applicable to all owners.

Knowing who is going to close, knowing who is going to be a pain in the but to work with, knowing who does or doesnt prep their clients for home inspections, knowing who uses good lenders and who uses a lender who will screw up the transaction...further knowing what lenders use local appraisers who know the market, and who ships in cheap out of state appraisers to save $100 and will appraise the property low because they dont understand the market.

after seeing hendersonville grow to the point of pushinginto gallatin, im really considering maybe developing a small community of shipping container apartments/townhomes, and renting them out.

If it's something else where things can be ordered online and shipped to people's house it can be tough.I hope it works out great for you both.
