Our options could be they rent it from us below market (im expecting great appreciation in time) or possibly gifting us the money to pay off our note over a couple years but live rent free.

The WHY would be because with interest rates being so high, I see it being difficult to cash flow at this point in time.

Spend some time getting to know your housing market, make some REIA appearances(in person network), get in some BP podcasts and blog readings and with more education you will be able to make a better decision in time.

But my son always checks things out before committing to anuything and he found this to be a rip-off venture and stopped us in time!

@Jack BarryThere is no longer a smooth commute from Davidson County to Clarksville/Ft Campbell.Will not be one until they expand I-24 in 6-8 years.If you must live near Nashville, Pleasant View is a decent compromise.

Hopefully the answer is yes so you can use those funds to offset the rent for this month.I am not intimately familiar with NC L/T law, but the judge will probably expect you to mitigate your damages by marketing and re-renting the unit, so be prepared to show evidence of that if you bring this tenant to small claims court.This is another good reason why I only offer MTM leases and collect the last month's rent and security deposit up front. 

Yes, there is not a very pleasant local population.

I wish I could go back in time and tell my knucklehead 21 year old self to start investing in real estate.

They're handyman trey is a standup honest guy and I've been pleasantly surprised at the costs when I've had work done.

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $55,000 At 18 Aberdeen Ave, a frozen-in-time townhome, our renovation adventure began with the bathroom—a sight to behold with mismatched tiles and a worn-out bathtub.
