While I currently live outside Portland, OR, I plan to begin investing in Tennessee. I am interested in getting feedback about Chattanooga vs Knoxville. 

He knows his stuff and is really good at making IG videos: his brand is a very clever mix of being super humble, telling everyone profits are less than you think and then flashing some fat $$ he made by selling to his investors.

They they get a big fat default judgement against you. 

I’m open to either a townhouse or a single-family home, but I’m definitely trying to steer clear of any crazy HOAs that eat into cash flow (you know what I’m talking about!).

There are opportunities out there but some strategies are risky. 1 - Airbnb (STR) comes to mind - very competitive, very saturated and becoming highly regulated.2 - Most STRs are transitioning to MTR so that market will be saturated soon if it isn't already.3 - Insurance crisis in florida is getting bad so those costs will eat up cashflow and short term appreciation.

We eat the first one, thy get a picture of all the glory the plumber pulled out and the second time they get billed.

@Jason Wray Thank you very much for this response ..I’ve never sold one of my rentals before feels like I’m cutting off a leg and paying close to 100k for cap gains is really starting to eat at me 😵‍💫Any chance you would be so kind as to send me a link to something in the ballpark of what you’re suggesting this way I can get an idea of area and what this type of property could look like!

Grocers must eat the loss of their fresh vegetable or frozen foods during a power outage.

But from a moral & ethical perspective, you may want to decide at some point to just eat it and accept write it off as cost of doing business.

Condo's usually have high HOA dues which will eat into your cash flow.
