I am trying to learn what to look for in the presentation of a house and what to specifically ask about prospective houses.

There are negative, slower appreciation imo, resale value is a challenge because they don't go FHA and prospective buyers who can go conventional can afford a better place (probably).

Account Closed When you get a deal or have a prospect shoot it by me for possible funding.

But a more carefully constructed list, such as houses in your prospective farm areas that are owned by non-owner occupants and that have been owned a long time, for example.

if my insurance will not cover damage of any kind caused by, say a german shepherd, and a prospective tenant has a german shepherd service and/or support do I have to allow them to have the dog?

And even though it goes against state statutes, some TN courts actually give prior owners 3 years to file suit to redeem the property.Your best bet is to get familiar with the TN state laws on tax deed sales, redemption and getting clear title.Here's a start: Scroll down to "Tax Sale Information" section http://www.tennesseetrustee.com/node/142A lawyer's interpretation of the tax deed procedures in TN: http://www.notestinelaw.com/pdf/property_sales_tax.pdfThese ought to get you started. 10% is a decent rate for a year and the prospect of getting title to the property after a year (even with the possible 3 year redemption) is pretty good too.I have not invested in TN as of yet. but I'm looking at a few areas near the larger cities like Nashville, Knoxville, etc.

I had previously advertised that I was looking for a prospective investing partner and outlined my criteria for a qualified partner.

You should know pretty quick if they are a good prospect or not.

If they won't return your calls or answer the phone, how can you trust that they'll do so for prospective tenants?

What is your ideal prospect and what criteria are you using to define prospect (zip code, public records, equity, etc)?
