A lot of out of state investors reap the upside potential of the Nashville market (and protect themselves from some of the downside) by investing in the high-growth (yet moderately priced) secondary markets near Nashville (i.e. Clarksville, TN). 

Howdy y'all! Broker and Property Manager here in Clarksville, TN. 

Who is actively investing (or hopes to) invest in this market?

 Right, but I still think you'll sell much sooner than 30 years 😁

Sometime in between now and 30+ years I think you'll likely find an opportunity to trade up or to deploy your equity elsewhere. 

 Here's how you should allocate your time (and in this order)

1. 99% of time developing your business plan/idea

2. 1% of time thinking about the LLC

Many people get caught up on the purpose/use of an LLC and don't spend enough time thinking about how to make money.

Go with the cheaper option. You'll sell the building before the unit goes out. 

 Hire a property manager. 

Clarksville, TN is landlord AND business-friendly!

 You can do this in/around my market (depending on your financing). 

Hey Michael, I am a broker and property manager here in Clarksville, TN. In my humble opinion, your business plan will be much more important than the market. Sure, Nashville is a great city - but it is also very competitive. There are so many ways to succeed and build wealth with real estate (in any market). I think the better question to ask is, in any given market, how will you differentiate yourself and add value to the marketplace?

Hey what's up Andrew, have you found a brokerage to call "home?"
