I'm looking to purchase a couple 3/2 homes next year for air-b-n-b rentals.

The reason why is maybe it from the 1900's and they did a complete cosmetic overhaul and it looks amazing, but what about the pluming, wiring, foundation, roof, supports, heating and air conditioning, and other things that don't have anything to do with the way it looks but might have a little to do with your bottom line.

Built in the late 1800's, 4 off street parking places, 2004 updated wiring, new gas lines, hvac, gutters, 5 furnaces, 3 central air units (2 more of unknown age) 80 gallon water tank from 2007. roof is ~13 years old.  

I have used Air bnb and it has been effective, but obviously need more resources to drive demand the property.

Local codes may require an air gap fitting above your countertop.    

I’m currently active duty Air Force and want to get into REI for the passive income and build a portfolio so when I eventually leave active duty I will have a well-established flow of income to sit back and spend more time with family.I have been reading books, listened to podcasts, and watched previous webinars on the site.

Sounds like Nashville's rules are up in the air after a judge struck it down last week.

So my client is a contractor as well....Of course he therefore expects me as a PM, to be his subcontractor too....Anyway, his property's windows are getting a lot of air coming through....He tells me there is window "sealing tape" at home depot???

I’m talking a table saw, drill press, hand sanders, jig saws, sawzaw, a generator, air compressor, bolts, screws, nuts, ect.

My professional background is in residential Energy Efficiency consulting, so I am familiar with retrofit projects as they relate to occupant comfort, improving energy bills, improving indoor air quality, and health & safety.
