All great points and I appreciate the feedback! We are looking in the area of Blowing Rock, Boone and Banner Elk (likely somewhere in the middle) that could be 20-30 minutes to the ski resorts but also the local towns and App State. We are aware that Blowing Rock, Boone and Banner Elk have regulations so we are hoping to find a lot that is outside of their regulations but close enough to allow STR's.

 Thanks Leslie! Our goal is to purchase the land with cash. Thank you for the insight! Do you mind letting me know how much you paid for land and what year/location?

Hello all!
My husband and I have spent weeks watching Youtube Videos, reviewing articles and more on building for our short term rental business. We are starting to get stuck on the steps we need to take to get the process rolling. We have chosen an area and have been reviewing land sites for the past couple of weeks but to not waste anyone's time, do we first consult with a realtor to actually find the specific lot, or do we apply for a construction loan first? Or do we start talking with general contractors? 

Also: Does anyone know if you can roll septic and well fees into a construction loan or are these paid out of pocket? 

Appreciate any information that can be provided!
