Plus, when I travel, every person I meet who learns that I am from Nashville really wants to talk about all the awesome things they have heard about the city-they are intrigued by it. Nashville has no state income tax, we are a great city for music and the arts. Even though the cost of housing has increased in Nashville greatly over the last few years, our median home price is still lower than a lot of similar cities, like Austin, Portland, and Seattle. What do you predict Nashville’s housing market to look like in the future?Įxcluding natural disasters, war, or an international health crisis…wait, all of those have happened in the last 2 years!!! Seriously though, I expect Nashville to continue to have a really healthy housing market for years to come. To sell a home to a buyer now probably requires maybe 3 times more work than it did in years past…more showings, more offers to write, more stress, more varied relationships with lenders and inspectors due to quick turn around times needed and high volume, and more encouragement needed towards buyers who are frustrated at the lack of inventory and the difficulty of buying a home. So we’ve had to adapt and learn strategies to make our buyers’ offers more competitive, and we’ve had to learn a lot of patience. That is drastically different from where things were maybe 3-5 years ago. It isn’t uncommon when working with buyers now to end up in situations where there are anywhere from 5-20 offers on a house. In a market like the one we are in with very very limited inventory of houses for sale, we’ve had to become very adaptable. changed with the shifting housing market of recent years? But I believe every person at Sneaky Ninja, Inc has a dog, and we LOVE pets. In that situation, it is often difficult to have pets, so we may exclude pets.

The only exception is we occasionally have multi-family homes that share walls and yards. We only take on properties to manage that allow pets. Do you prefer pet friendly or no pets allowed houses/rentals? So I think we are all ready for a less crazy pace and to have a little more time for our families and friends. It completely shut down our entire company for the next 2 days, just to respond to everyone. Last week we listed 2 houses for rent priced at $1350/month (which is low for our market), and we had 240 inquiries in the first 24 hours. I think everybody at Sneaky Ninja Inc./True East are ready for things to cool down, mainly because we are all just exhausted. As a real estate investor, I’ve seen my portfolio perform really well the last couple of years however, as an East Nashville resident for over 20 years who moved here as a broke musician, it is really hard to see the average rent prices and the average home prices escalate so much. The rising home prices both in our market and nationally are hard. Another good option is to find a brokerage that has a great education program.ĭo you and the Sneaky Ninja team love or hate rising market prices for homes and mortgage interest rates? If you can, find a good situation where you can be part of a team and earn some commissions while you get to work with experienced agents.

Get your license and go for it, but don’t put yourself on an island when you start. What is your advice for anyone who aspires to get into real estate?

The other real estate firm is Sneaky Ninja, Inc., which focuses on representing home sellers and home buyers. One is True East, LLC, which specializes in long term property management and manages about 150 mainly single family rentals. In what type of real estate do you specialize? I’ve been working in real estate as an investor since the late 90’s, but I got my real estate license and started working as an agent in 2008. Once I flipped houses about 4 times, my realtor Barry Owen encouraged me to get my real estate license. I didn’t mean to get into real estate, it was a total accident! In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, I was a bartender and musician, but as a side hustle I would buy a home in East Nashville, fix it up while I was living in it, and then sell it after 2 years (which means I paid no capital gains on the profit).
