I cant tell you how many HO's dont pay attention to this detail and it will hurt your curb appeal and your ability to sell if the need arises in the futureIf your siding is yellow dont pick a blue roofRed siding- dont go w green (unless you live at the North Pole)

@Jenna Columbus, I see a lot of bigger apartment buildings that just went up in Vernon (something I would love to do in the long run), but do you feel like that has possibly affected the ability to find tenants?

This entity woud have the ability to list the property for rent, enter into leases, evict tenants, hire contractors, etcetera.

I would recommend you have a lender look at your specific situation to help give you an idea of what affect certain cashflow numbers (positive or negative) may have on your DTI and ability to qualify for loan #2. 

I am looking for a way to automatically read them, generate a bill monthly and send it to the tenants.

Right now the summer bookings are going crazy, and there's a lot of interest in long term rentals - from college students that will be doing online classes as well as families with a new ability to work from home permanently.

They are still able to live there and have the ability to use the water, albeit, the hot water must be turned off and on to prevent further leaking.  

If you are a high earner with the ability to save it back up quickly I would say sure.

It is in the business' interest to make me feel like they are going to take care of me, and then to not follow through on that when I no longer have market value and the ability to retaliate.I assure you that no one else will be responsible for my retirement.

I think one major benefit to the Nashville area is the ability to expand, the state and local gov being business friendly, and the recruiting possibilities for jobs.
