Hello, fellow investors! My wife and I currently own/self-manage 2 STRs in TN (Nashville & Gatlinburg) and are looking for creative ways to scale. One strategy that we're very interested in is rental arbitrage. I'm a full-time real estate agent and am in the process of launching a property management co. to better serve my clients so this was a natural progression. My question for you guys is, if my business is leasing units from larger multi-family properties, am I still subject to the same zoning/permitting requirements as a property owner? I'm assuming there are layers to this but was hoping to hear from folks who are already operating in this space. I look forward to hearing from you guys. Blessings!

@Gerald Pitts love Airdna. I’m not a big spreadsheet guy so I need all the help I can get 😅

@Brad Hughes you had me at recession resistance! Thanks for the insight man 👊🏼

@Collin H. I’m not very familiar with the surrounding markets so this is very helpful. Thank you!

@Leslie Anne Morris that’s a great point!

@Paul Garwol thanks for the heads up! I’ll definitely look into that market as well

@Luke Carl haha! Well, this is tough cause I’ve never really like the stones 😅

@Michael Baum I am a huge fan of the Short Term Shop platform! I’ve already connected with STS agents in Smokies & Blue Ridge markets 🤙🏼

Hello fellow investors, 

I'm new to the BP forum. My wife & I live in Nashville and purchased our first STR here in January. It's doing great and we now have our sites set on the mountain markets in Gatlinburg and/or Blue Ridge. Both look appealing for a number of reasons (namely, that they've been stable vacation rental markets for decades). My question is, are you seeing advantages to one of these markets over the other in terms of cashflow, occupancy rate, seasonality etc?
