Smoky Mountain STR New Investors!
Hello! I'm a recent college graduate and investor from Ohio looking to expand into STR in the Smoky Mountains and would love to connect with others who are looking to buy their first property in that area. Would love to connect and kick some ideas around with each other as to where specifically we're looking, how many beds/baths, projecting revenue, financing, finding cleaners/handymen, problems we're facing, and what other systems and processes we're looking at implementing to hit the ground running. If you have any interest in STR in Smoky Mountains, let me know!

I own 7 STRs in the Smokies and manage another 21. Feel free to PM me with any questions. It's a great area, but it's all about the deal. I have seen folks getting ripped off over the last year. Panic buying.
