You Can Now Rent Finance Guru Dave Ramsey’s Luxurious Tennessee Home for Just $5K a Month

Financial guru Dave Ramsey is renting out his stately brick home in Brentwood, TN, for $5,000 a month.

Located in an affluent suburb of Nashville, the four-bedroom residence measures in at 3,776 square feet.

But renter beware—Ramsey won’t abide any funny business. In addition to dispensing financial advice daily, he’s a longtime licensed real estate broker, so he knows what he’s doing.

Of course, all the requirements are spelled out in the listing details, just as they would be for any rental; however, the radio personality has some fairly strict stipulations in place regarding (unsurprisingly) the financial credibility of any applicants.

At Ramsey’s rental, the requirements are firm: “No Pets, No Smoking, No Exceptions. Applicant must have verifiable proof of income no less than 3x the rent per month for min of two years.”

As of mid-October, the home will be ready to rent. Highlights include the large living room, formal dining room, exercise space, and executive office for remote workers to use. The listing also touts the property’s updated light fixtures, new carpeting throughout, fresh interior paint, and new front door.

The downstairs primary bedroom features heated tile in the adjacent bath. A huge screened patio, generous lawn, and three-car garage complete the package.

And this isn’t Ramsey’s only adventure in the Tennessee real estate market.

In 2021, he put his 13,517-square-foot French chateau in Franklin, TN, on the market for $15,450,000. The massive mansion sold later that year for $10.2 million.

Ramsey, 64, started his business career very young and in the most regular way—he mowed lawns when he was 12. He went on to become a real estate broker and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

But after falling into deep debt, Ramsey dug his way out by launching a financial radio program in 1992. Today, he is the host of “The Ramsey Show” and the author of several books, including the bestselling “The Total Money Makeover.”

He also offers up advice on all manner of personal finance issues via his website, Ramsey Solutions, covering a wide range of topics from real estate to debt struggles.

Ramsey recently posted an article about real estate investment, explaining how potential entrepreneurs can get involved in the market—while issuing a warning about just how much work this kind of business can be.

“Investing in real estate isn’t a bad idea at all,” the article states. “In fact, we’re huge fans of it. But you need to be patient and willing to put in the work. It’s not ‘passive’ income, and it’s definitely not going to make you wealthy overnight.”
