Thank you for the info....Given the tornadoes that recently spun through the Nashville area and the ensuing damage as shown in all the media reports, can you offer any comments on how an investor should think about tornado risks in the Nashville/Tennessee area?

@Elizabeth Zielinski I have noticed that Paul comments often and puts people down.

I agree with many comments here ... distance to work is an issue I've run into before where, for instance, a buyer lives in NY and wants to buy a home in South Jersey (2 hours away) and call it their primary residence, EVEN when they are currently renting in NY.

You can also interact when the comment comes up "We had 218 maintenance requests last year and our landlord was so bad he only fixed like 35 of them, you aren't like that are you?"

Later in the episode he commented on how he was actually owner occupying.

I think I might have a few people in that post-bidding price range, I'll let their Realtors know if it comes up" is broadly accepted as normal activity (I'm not commenting on what SHOULD be, merely on what IS) unless some sort of confidentiality is specifically requested. 

It’s clear which of the commenters  are in, or at least understand the hospitality business, and which ones don’t.
