It all about supply.

You need to study your state landlord tenant regulations before you enter into this business to protect yourself and your tenants.

I am putting this out there, if you need a hand with literally anything from working on the house to picking up supplies for your contractors or whatever it is I am your guy.

Another thing you should do before offering is , if necessary, is get your financing figured out with a definite lender that should supply you with a loan letter that states the average closing time and the maximum amount you qualified for.You can include a copy of that with your offers.  

@Sean Bell Go to the Rutherford County website, Planning and Engineering, and download the Zoning Ordinance and also look for Building Codes or Subdivision regulations.

I think the regulations need to be updated and refined - as it is right now anyone can get a certification from a doctor that they need their ESA - for a few bucks on the internet.

This is also happening nationally (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/24/why-the-supply-of-h...).I am an REO agent and it seems to be getting tougher and tougher to find good deals for my buyer investors.

You'll get eaten alive.I know it looks tempting to compare regulated rents with market rate and start fantasizing about the potential property, but it is incredibly difficult to make that a reality.

For some reason we thought, and had several lenders who thought so too, that one could simply add VA entitlements together to circumvent the zero down loan limit and thus be competitive for the very limited multi-unit supply in the area.

This produces an environment of consistently high demand and low supply.
