Knoxville Airbnb advise

[Linda Jimenez]

Hi Everyone!

I am a total rookie! Looking to make my first home purchase to house hack and Airbnb. I am considering Knox mainly because I don't want to be in a big city and I like the proximity to the Smokies. My idea is to try to get a house with a MIL or ADU and rend out the main house as an Airbnb. Hoping to get ppl who are looking to visit Knox maybe before they go to the smokies. I am going to take a trip out there next month to get a feel of the city before landing a property. But would love anyones word of advise since I don't know the area that much yet. Originally I was looking into Clearwater but the market not slowing down there is making it hard for me to find a deal in my price point.

Does anyone know the Airbnb restrictions in that area?

Does anyone know any realtor that are investor friendly? 

Any advise?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
