I'm looking anywhere within 45 minutes of Nashville (preferably North) but not in Nashville. 

Intercoms with the door buzzer thingy.Especially for young people because:A) - they hate to go out and buy stuff they prefer it all arrives at their door in a big brown truckandB) when their stuff does arrive in the big brown truck they hate just a much having to answer the door or go down the stairs to let the guy in and to retrieve their stuff.They basically want to be able to order bubble bath from their bath and have it delivered right to them there in the tub.Adding the intercom/buzzer system if not already there does justify an nice rent bump come renewel time.

Which do you prefer/recommend.

You pay taxes on what is left for you, presumable your half, in whichever way you calculate it.Some of my colleagues will disagree, but I maintain that individuals do NOT issue 1099-INT, ever.

I did this before and unfortunately, I was dragged along for almost a year, but then again this was partially due to the borrower and his lack of due diligence (I’ll take blame too for partnering with the individual) but I like to think that the mistakes I had seen wouldn’t take place if the project was under my watch or to the very least the situation would be handled differently.The properties and deals that I generally see and come across in the South Jersey and Central Jersey areas would need a gap lender that would bring roughly 25 – 45K to the table depending on the area.

I prefer to stay on the residential loan side.

Contracts to buy real estate that are short and simple are preferred.

As I mentioned he was an individual managing the properties and so there was no owner portal, etc. 

I had an Excel sheet where I kept track of every individual expense/rent payment for my first rental, but I just bought 2 more units and now I've been working on building a more robust version of the sheet that can handle multiple properties.

Hi @Logan JornsIt depends alot on your personal preferences and those of the people you live with.
