Hi Gabe, Is this a long term rental?

About to do my first flip and curious about Redfin, which appears to save a lot especially on the sell side vs. conventional agent. 

I am assessing investing in Middle Tennessee for long term rentals and would love your thoughts on where the hotspots are likely to be over the next couple of years.

If you’re in this for the long term you’ll need to make the odds favor you, not hope that things will be ok.

For multi-family going as a long term rental it will be hard to make cash flow unless doing a serious amount of down payment or getting a great interest rate.

(You’re protecting equity/your net worth, if you don’t have anything you don’t need an umbrella.)I used USLI for a long time but they changed their standards a couple years ago and wouldn’t offer more than $1-2m if any property had a pool.

Similar green energy investments could be considered if you can make the numbers work (credits on some types of low income housing can be north of 50%).Depending on how long these properties have been held, they could consider implementing cost segregation studies via a change in accounting method to accelerate some depreciation.The operating proceeds could be re-deployed into new properties where cost segregation is an option to accelerate depreciation to offset proceeds.If the properties are low basis and we are not maximizing the 199A deduction, maybe considering an S-Corp structure for management to be able to participate in retirement plans and also generate wages to use as a 199A base. 

So I'll try to make a long story short.
