I’d be happy to recommend some good neighborhoods if you’d like.

I am a big fan of the less gentrified neighborhoods of Hermosa, Little Village, Uptown, etc. in addition to the Opportunity Zones with regards to capital gains tax deferrals.

It is a 3 bed, 2 bath in very good (move-in ready) condition with a driveway, good sized front and backyards and in a nice, up-and-coming neighborhood, just across the street from a beautiful community park.

Do I branch out to other neighborhoods or wait for this specific property to (maybe) come available?  

It's a 2 bedroom in an A neighborhood with a "bonus room."

Your locality will state which rules specifically you have to follow, but if someone applies but does not fit your criteria (So long as your criteria doesn't discriminate against protected groups), then you do not have to rent to them.

Looking for advice on how to choose a direction, hot neighborhoods in the Nashville area, vendor suggestions, etc.

It’s great deal at $37 a square foot and in a great neighborhood.

Home prices are going up around here but there are still plenty of blue collar/working class neighborhoods.

Please let me know if you fit the bill or know someone who does.
