Complete Newbie. Looking to purchase MFH in Nashville.

Hello Nashvillians! 

I am looking to purchase my first duplex or quite possibly a single-family home with a walk-in basement for a house-hack. 

I'd love to hear from those who have any experience house hacking as a single person in the Nashville market? I am certain this is naivete speaking but is it too late to start here?

What was the biggest thing you learned while doing so? 

Would you have done anything differently? Any tips or suggestions you wouldn't mind offering?

Welcome @Dasia Washington! It's definitely never too late to have someone else pay your mortgage:)

    Hi Dasia! I'm originally from nashville and have done a lot of investing there. I don't think there are many properties there that make sense as a rental from a price perspective right now, unless you're seeing something I'm not?

    Hi @Dasia Washington thanks for the request! I am an agent in town and my brokerage works exclusively with investors for flips, buy/hold, or tear downs for new builds. Have you given any thought to your Price Points? Rehab budget? Regions or Zip Codes you are interested in looking? Do you have cash on hand or are you looking for some type of financing to facilitate your investments? These are all questions I ask investors I work with up front as it helps to narrow down your specific criteria. It is also important for you to get a bit of a handle on what types of opportunities fit within your desired goals. I see opportunities like the ones you describe everyday, but narrowing down the above may help to steer you one way or the other when determining which one would be the best fit for you. 

    Feel free to reach out if you have questions, I would be glad to help. 

    Be well, 

    Angela
