Hey Noe, I am a broker and property manager based in Clarksville, TN, a great market for investors like yourself. Let me know if I can help!

Consider the screening criteria they use to qualify your tenant! Property management companies vary greatly (even within the same market) on their qualifying criteria. Make sure you are comfortable with who they place in your property! 

Cash flow is tough right now! Get your foot in the door and aim for a break even (if it means you can get started). If possible house hack (on a single family or small multi). 

Inheriting tenants isn't necessarily bad - just do your due diligence on them (as well as the property itself). Are there deposits on file? Do they pay on time (all of the time)? Review their applications and the screening process used to approve them as well. 

 There are many great markets to invest in! Make sure you check out Clarksville, TN as well - we've got a great balance of cash flow and appreciation and are in a fundamentally strong and growing market. 

 Welcome! Start by clarifying your goals and vision. Once you know exactly what you want to achieve, your path will be more clear. How much passive income do you want? By what date?

Narrow it down to a few markets / property metrics and connect with a great real estate team in those markets. 

Start with an established team member in your desired out-of-state market. A great broker, property manager, lender, flipper, etc. can open many doors for you and allow you to leverage their networks. You don't have to reinvent the wheel - just align yourself with a great group of folks who are doing what you want to do in that market!

Looking for a great balance of cash flow and appreciation in a growing market with solid fundamentals?

Check out Clarksville, TN! 

I think many folks getting established simply may not have the cash. If you have the cash available, it is not a bad option, especially with current rates. 

Howdy! 

Considering buying/renting in Clarksville. Lots of folks make the commute. Clarksville is more affordable and has better rent-to-price ratios.
