I know there can be a lot of red tape with this type of stuff in Nashville and want to do it right.

@Russell Brazil,Aint it AWESOME how those who were bold enough to make the decision to get into the Real Estate business have been able to become wealthy by HELPING OTHERS!

This one is half red brick so I am not sure any type of grey would work.

With a red brick, a black or navy blue (with white trim) door would look nice. 

While you can trigger the due on sale clause if you purchase a property into your personal name and transfer them into an LLC, you do not trigger the same red flags by transferring the property into a land trust.

All the floors that you've shown us here are solid American white or red oak tongue-and-groove, 3/4 in. thick, 2 1/4 in. strip flooring.

In general, what are some red flags or specific things to consider? 

If their rent is $1000 a month and it is showing that they paid $900 then there is your red flag to see if the tenant did not pay in full or if there may be some sort of manipulation.

And what are some common red flags

But I’m conflicted on where to start in terms of building a strong foundation in my portfolio while still having enough velocity behind my money to grow.Should I start with a SF rental and hold for the 1031 deferred (4 greens and a red type strategy) or go after Tax / lien sales to flip/sell in the short term until I can afford a multi family property.
