When my tenants sign a lease, 99% of the time they have not only seem pics but been through the unit (usually twice).

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

Quote from @Kyle Carter: What about if I already have a rental, not with the home buyers program.

I recently financed three new builds in the Jasper area near Big Canoe and I'll be heading up with my family shortly after Christmas for a "tour".

The real estate market has shifted dramatically in recent years rising interest rates, evolving buyer and seller expectations, and fluctuating property values are keeping all of us on our toes.

Section 8 comes with guaranteed rent payments straight from the government, which is a huge perk.

If you refinance completely your monthly payment will go up probably significantly.

Hi Jonathan,Jay’s Fencing (209-847-3992), Elite Iron Fencing (209-968-6685), and Fletcher Fencing (209-662-8298) are solid options to get bids from and compare.I also offer consulting services to help clients navigate projects like this—whether it’s evaluating bids, ensuring the scope of work is clear, or helping you avoid potential issues during the process.

So you’d be ok coming out of pocket another $130k and paying $780k for this property if the builders fail to perform?

I live in the greater Naples area.
