This could help you build confidence and add to your capital without the pressure of a larger, more complex project.You’re right that the Nashville/Central TN market has been hot, and while it’s cooling, rates are favorable.

It's strong job market, growing population and a mix of affordable and appreciating properties makes it a favorable area to invest in. 

We are currently looking at purchasing a small condo for a recent development called Caribbean Town https://hkgrealestatearuba.com/caribbean-town/.We are gathering a lot of information to see if the numbers work in our favor.

Cash flow-oriented investors would do well in this market, since Montgomery’s rent-to-price ratios are very favorable—for instance, we’re seeing $150,000 properties in B/B+ neighborhoods fetch monthly gross rents of $1,200 to $1,300.By the way, if you’re looking for financing, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan could be a good option for you since you’re an international investor.
