Hi Shannyn, I’m a local agent/investor and personally I’m picking up rentals in woodbine, Glencliff, donelson, hermitage and old hickory.

I picked that brokerage because of their low interest rates on margin loans. 

We can pick a closing day for our properties either at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.

Yes, 12 year old post and the 2nds were picked up for 1% probably because they were attached to deeply underwater assets.

Assuming you do not have anything yet, there is a lot to learn when it comes to investing and I can see how many people can get knocked out by picking up bad investments too fast. 

I just shot you a PM to pick your brain on something.  

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

What should I do if in  the property has belongings and furniture of the old owner?

I'll have to pick that one up. 

Sounds like you're still working on the project @Geoff Nielson, but you picked a solid neighborhood in Indy.
