So is there a way to get away with 24 month contract?..

How do you usually approach unexpected repairs or big-ticket items?

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.

A PMC cannot risk a ticket or lawsuit because an owner takes too long to approve an emergency.You do have the right to be frustrated that you weren't informed about the repair as it was being done.Suggest you discuss with your PMC and see what they say. 

All these replies go round and round Question easy does it work?

Quote from @Collin Hays: I suspect that the Smokies is your best choice, simply because it is a year-round destination. 

The owner also needs to save for big ticket items that may need to be replaced every 10 or 20 years such as AC, hot water heater, furnace, roof.  

It appears to hold much year round potential with the right tactics and tools.

It's very unique and I think would be attractive to guests looking for a comfortable get away in the mountains. 

I’ve opened a ticket, so let’s see how that turns out!
