But def respect a classic build!

HMM all due respect, not cool to the seller.

@Chris Seveney I agree in some respect but I don't think bringing pm in-house is a guarantee that you won't have turnover.

It’s easy to see a property and want to make it a good deal but if it doesn’t work that needs to be respected instead of trying to force it like you said.

It the how you go about it there is simply not mutual respect and no one's word means **** anymore

Divide this number by .75 or .70 to reflect a down payment of 25% or 30% respectively, and compare that result to the asking price.All the above takes about 10 or 15 minutes max - even using just a calculator.

Find someone who you know can pay & someone you feel will respect your home. 

With respect to your question about the market in Nashville for rentals, I don't know really since this home was my primary home that I rented only because I needed to move out of state on short notice.

I know this leaves money on the table but most of my tenants stay for many years and all have been respectful of my property.

In the current environment, a 15%-17% IRR is respectable/realistic on a value-add ~B Class deal.
