I first got started with real estate by buying a 3-flat on a whim 5 years ago and now I am back for more.Happy to meet everyone!

The Nashville/Central TN market has been hot but is starting to cool, but rates are now down, giving me hope.

That it has a strong "base case" cash flow from the house-hack, and that it has multiple avenues for material upside, combinining live in flip and house-hack concepts. 

I'm excited to be part of this vibrant community of real estate enthusiasts, investors, and professionals.I first started my professional career in real estate while in the MBA program at NDSU.

I've been investing in real estate with my wife since 2017, when we started with JV deals and small flips.

No General Contractor wants to do a remodel with the residents still living there....they will charge you more (they probably will not show it, but the prices will be higher because of the huge PITA factor and increased liability)I would wait until you have completely moved out and then just give them the house empty and ready to roll.....But you can get a Scope Of Work going and start getting bids...even plans and permits if you're going that far...

Ask an investor to tell you their buy & hold or flip economic model and they start stuttering.

The rental yields here are also quite attractive—duplexes, in particular, can provide a strong cash flow.2.

You never know how much damage the termites have done until you start tearing into walls/floors....can get expensive fast.Location is the only thing that cannot be fixed, and you said this property was in a "really good location". 

I started using it as a STR 4 years or so ago.
