Investing in STRs with a recession coming

[Kurt Baltutat]

How are you Super and Angel Hosts thinking about the next 3-5 years? I follow many well-respected economists and am convinced a recession is coming (or is here) and the questions are how long and how bad. I know the smokies weathered the 2009 crisis quite well based on park visits and other data. But how do you think a recession and potential job losses, etc. will affect STRs? I have one and am planning on getting 2 more in the next year, but don't want to buy into a 30-40% occupancy market. Thanks for your advice!
