It could save you a lot of time entertaining ideas that wont' work in Nashville. 

Let them know in advance, so residents can plan ahead to move outdoor furniture away from the building, or vehicles out of the driveway if needed.

The patio downstairs is clean and comfortable with a hanging swing and we built a wrap around deck off the back so that upstairs has just as much outdoor space.

The best way to find a lender that will entertain these small loan amounts is to find a local bank or credit union in the vicinity of these properties.

@Robin Morales I started investing in Tempe due to the proximity to Arizona State University ( one of the largest universities in the nation and only continues to grow), then worked my way to Old Town Scottsdale where we have the Entertainment District and lots of local attractions and events.

Your entertaining selling an existing, performing portfolio, turn-key.

Local infrastructure, schools, shopping centers, entertainment, these are either being improved upon, have been improved, or in future plans of improvements.

Public school system is terrible, several attempts to revitalize our downtown area without a ton of success, and West TN is not the most progressive, but recent change in public office members to a much younger group has been slowly helping with in the entertainment sector in the city.

They are getting ready to build a huge entertainment complex both on 79 near the Dell Diamond and Toll 130/Toll 45.Taylor, TX is also a consideration as I hear a lot of people are looking at Taylor for growth due to its proximity to Austin and other cities.

I'm also a huge outdoors men so I like to justify it that way as well :)If you plan on doing your own repairs and larger maintenance issues, it is nice to have but not necessary.
