It is great to hear that you plan to start your Nashville real estate career with house hacking.

I am working on a plans for a 4-unit retail development in Bourbonnais.

But the plan is to sell it so I want to keep on working towards that. 

I am planning to attend Cal Poly SLO in the fall and majoring in finance.

I am purchasing this home and have had the plan that my brother would live in it with me and help me pay the mortgage.

.- not buy in a seasonal market, or if i do, ONLY expect to generate $$ in the peak season when i run my numbers- buy something with very low overhead (not an expensive SFH)- make sure it cashflows as a LTR (have a backup plan)- do a more creative stay (glamping, redone vintage camper, etc)

If you are on septic and it's adding a below-grade bath you could collapse the system if it was not planned for.

the owner would typically pay the commissions on a commercial lease; however, an option to renew is an option to renew. it just gets renewed. there is no new lease, no new leasing agents, none of that. it sounds like they aren't exercising their option to renew. they are essentially letting the existing lease expire and negotiating a new one. my response would be - we either renew as is as provided under the existing lease please plan on vacating as we'll start marketing. it is possible that we may come to terms on a new lease but no guarantees.....

@Alyssa Magyar I'm also trying to set up a townhome for a STR/MTR blend; at least that was the plan.
