And this is what separates the serious VR owner from the second home owner who occasionally rents it out.

@Toby is your question specific to Gatlinburg or VR in general?

VR property managers typically charge 20-30% of revenues.

If you provide free WiFi and your tenants use it for illegal purposes (child porn) don't be surprised if you get pulled into the investigation.

They've identified the turn-key VR's and are excited to begin ownership on one of the highest rated islands in the world, and #1 in Hawaii.Aloha,Jeff

You may have been able to squeeze out a higher return relative to a non VR, but it's still an active business model that is separate from the physical property and should not be used to determine the value of the property.

I didn't realize VR's were doing so well there!!

I am scheduled to close tomorrow. my contract says "broom clean condition", which i think is standard language in most PA's.well, i went there yesterday and the house is still a mess, multiple refrigirators, ovens, wheel chairs, porn tapes, cabinets, water heaters, dolls, tables, you name it, it's there.my agent left multiple messages with the sales agent (a huge knob!)
