A market study will provide detail about current occupancy in the market, rent rates, and the amount of new units the market will support.

Instead, we purchased a townhome in the rice village/west university area and decided to "House Hack" part time by renting it out as a vacation rental.We are actually in the process of moving back to the Nashville now, so we've listed the house for sale (just posted details in marketplace if you want to read more about our experience).

Both items should be the responsibility of the tenant. 

Details:  Owner has three properties, one SFH and two duplexes. 

I suggest you develop a fairly detailed scope of responsibilities for that PM, including how often you expect him to be there and exactly what kind of interactions, inspections, reporting and other activities & responsibilities you expect of him. 

What are most expansive items?

Still working on the details for that.

Feel free to PM me for details, the GC, Peter, is extremely reliable!

After doing the math on the properties and the money i "saved" it was just not worth it.They went out of their way to replace every possible part before replacing the entire item and every time, the issue was "something else" so i just kept paying and paying for the service calls.

Congrats on the flip, I'd love to see all the numbers and details of it!
