We have been getting a lot of sec 8 traffic but have not found a qualified non sec 8 tenant yet.

If your parents are retiring..i would buy outside of Nashville, Dickson county, Cheatham county or Wilson Counties..if they are going to be working..and commuting..traffic is is getting worse every year..I would stay in Nashville.  

You have to weigh out, would you rather buy cheaper and face capital expenses in 5 years and pay that 100% out of pocket, or pay more, defer those cost to 15 to 20 years and only pay $2,000 for those capital expenses instead of 10k out of pocket.Last thing, if you buy in Cordova, do yourself a favor, go ahead and rip out those carpets in the high traffic areas, you will save yourself thousands.  

House is tucked away in a low traffic cul de sac so putting a sign out front does not have much success.

That's an interesting part of Kenn Rd. in terms of quality of houses and traffic.  

The final plans for this bridge are complete and they call for it to come to a light in the middle of this small town (with no traffic lights currently).

Then direct that traffic to your website with a feedback form to collect leads.

Carpet get dirty on traffic areas, walls need touch up or to be repainted - and all these not billable to Tenants because it's normal wear and tear.Besides, vacancies makes the biggest loses in this business - even repairs are not the number one expense.I'm very reluctant to sign even one year lease and if Tenants go month-by-month without renewing, the rent jumps up to $100/mo on $800-900/mo.The only reason to Rent month-by-month I see as you have huge demand for these rentals which might be because you Rent below market or have extremely nice rentals for the price.I'm renting slightly higher than average market and it might take quite some time to re rent the house.

The tenant is responsible for all repair and maintenance of the property, including the roof and structure.Site demographics:Average Daily Traffic Count (ADT): 23,000 1-mile Average Annual Household Income (AHHI): $99,969 POPULATION: 1-mile radius: 6,0953-mile radius: 42,886 5-mile radius: 124,077 Questions(using the information provided above):1.

That's what I'm essentially pushing for at this point, getting him to decide before his in person visit Monday so I can keep the EM if he backs out after that visit.While it's a great tactic for HIM, it comes at 8K a month expense to me, as such I'm not willing to let him walk away scot free while I wasted several weeks of time thanks to him and cost me 8K per month while I relist after two weeks have been wasted and now the house will have a stigma since it has been on there for a while and was pending but now is not.I'm considering giving him until noon today to make a decision or I will cancel the contract and relist so I can get some traffic this weekend.
