It's true that our market has become more and more difficult to gain cash flow but not impossible and many strategies to consider.  

Anyone else investing in Nashville have any insight?

I will likely want to live in the home for two years to avoid long term capital gains before renting out the unit & using the equity to purchase another property for myself.

This rental property will be designed with a keen focus on generating a healthy cash flow.Project Blueprint:Budget: Allocated at $200,000, covering construction and all related expenses.Focus: To merge energy efficiency, durability, and tenant comfort with cost-effective construction strategies, making the rentals both affordable and sustainable.Location: Currently scouting – I'm open to suggestions and insights on ideal locations supporting this vision.Strategic Planning:Efficient Design & Planning: I'm considering compact, multi-functional layouts to optimize space usage and incorporate cost-saving construction methods without compromising quality.Sustainability & Efficiency: The plan includes investing in top-notch insulation, air sealing, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable materials to reduce the building's carbon footprint and operational costs.Budget Management & Cost-Saving Initiatives: Careful budgeting and exploring value engineering options are crucial, alongside seeking out grants or incentives for energy-efficient building projects.Community & Sustainability Goals: To create shared amenities to foster a community feel and implement systems encouraging tenants to monitor and reduce their energy consumption.Seeking Community Insights on:Cost-Effective Building Strategies: How can I ensure the project remains within budget while achieving high sustainability and efficiency standards?

So after reestablishing 2 year primary residence status, if we were to decide the sell our home at this time, would the "nonqualifying use" apply to the capital gains? 

Anybody have experience with this or any insight?  

You can read the books in the BP bookstore and watch videos on YouTube and gain enough knowledge to get started and buy a small multi family house 2-4 units to house hack or just rent out and self manage.

If we do a land contract and put $107,000 down after selling one maybe two building, net gain for us of (8) units.

While we all aim for success, it's often our mistakes that offer the most valuable insights.

Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
