What is your short term plan for the TN house?

Personally, I love Sherwood Forest for long term rentals, but there are tons of other great neighborhoods to invest in. 

Your risks in terms of a tenants is more spread-out.

Nice area though and properties probably will hold their value as long as kids go to school in person at a building/campus. 

Fix and Flip Loan/BridgeThis short term loan is good for acquiring distressed or turnkey ready properties quickly.

Hey Jackie, Is just creating an LLC in one of their names and then holding the property in it not an option? 

My understanding in Maryland the seller provides the buyer with a copy of the COA papers at least 21 days prior to settlement and you have up to 7 days to review and pull out of the contract if you don't agree to the terms.  

Over the last 2 years that I've managed a short-term rental in northern San Antonio, I have experienced many small contractors that get so easily triggered, offended, and upset at me and my wife. 

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

@Joey Andres I email an addendum stating that rent increases to $x and lease term is extended to x date.
