Hi Christopher, I'm a realtor in the area and I thought I'd run some numbers for you just to get a better picture of the risk/reward of a LTR vs STR.Currently netting $250 a month on the LTRIf you rented it as a STR on a nightly basis for $135 with an expected estimated vacancy of 56% (average for the area) that's a gross income of $21,681 less your mortgage $17,400 and less expenses such as water electric and internet of an estimated $4200 puts your annual net at $81.To make the STR profitable for the additional work you'd have to rent it for more than $135 a night and for more nights than the Nashville average of 44% occupancy.
