I was born and raised in Nashville. Thirty years here means I have watched this city grow from a mid size Southern market into one of the fastest growing metros in the country, and I have seen how that growth hits landlords and tenants on the ground floor. Today I run two Nashville businesses. Door Collectors is my property management company focused on long term rentals across East Nashville, Donelson, Madison, Inglewood, Hermitage, Antioch, Bordeaux, and Whites Creek. We charge 8 percent management and a flat $1,000 leasing fee. No junk fees, no portal charges, no maintenance markup. What you see is what you pay. I am also the principal broker at House Haven Realty, a Nashville brokerage rooted in working with investors and accidental landlords who need someone who actually understands rental math. I own five rental properties myself. I have invested through three Nashville market cycles and I still underwrite my own deals the same way I underwrite yours. That is what I mean by skin in the game. On BiggerPockets I write about Nashville market math, fee transparency in property management, and the accidental landlord pattern where someone inherits a property, relocates for work, or just cannot sell and suddenly needs to figure out how to be a landlord in a city they may not know anymore. Disclosure: I am the founder and owner of Door Collectors Property Management.
