It also includes managing your existing investment well to ensure you aren't bleeding money due to bad tenants, excess maintenance, etc. 

I also own 4 STR properties that do extremely well.

The showings with the tenant went well and they didn't have any questions during the showing.

If they do not want to price it well then do not take the listing.

Regards, R.Hi,i would be interested to discuss further as well. 

I want to be a investor buying and holding as well as fix an flips.

I do not know the market very well in Gatlinburg, but from a pure investment perspective (assuming revenue is gross) is abysmal. 

That's great to see how well you've done.

Having a lease in place will help you as well - some lenders won't refi a vacant property.For your refi, you're usually looking at 75-80% max LTV with a debt service loan.

Since I'm not a pigeon forge local, I also don't have a good feel for the appropriate cost of goods and services either.While I don't necessarily suspect anything nefarious from the management company, I don't now that our financial incentives are always well-aligned.
