Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Sevierville.

Purchase price: $185,000
Cash invested: $2,500

First of many Short Term Rentals. This one came out of nowhere. Invested with my brother in law on this to mitigate the risk. Now my wife and I are actively looking for number 2 in this. It has been a great experience!

Don't be afraid to try new things. You may fail but that only means you learned. This was not a fail.
